G Bm C B Am7 G C B A G
Operator oh could you help me place this call
Am D Em D C B A G
You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded
G Bm C B Am7 G C B A G
She's living in L.A. with my best old ex-friend Ray
Am D7 Em D C B A G
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
G C G
CHORUS: Isn't that the way they say it goes
| C D
| But lets forget all that
| G Am
| And give me the number if you can find it
| C D Em Bm Am
| So I can call just to tell her I'm fine and to show
| D C G
| I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well
| Am C
| I only wish my words could just convince myself
| D7 C G
| That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels
G Bm C (B) Am7 G C (B A G)

Operator oh could you help me place this call
Am D7 Em (D C B A G)
Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
G Bm C (B A G )
There's something in my eye, you know it happens every time
Am D7 Em (D C B A G)
I think about the love that I thought would save me
CHORUS
G Bm C (B) Am7 G C (B A G)
Operator let's forget about this call
Am D7 Em (D C B A G)
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
G Bm
Thank you for your time,
Bm C (B Am7 G C B A G)
Cause you've been so much more than kind
Am D7 Em D C B A G
You can keep the dime
CHORUS
