Operator

G----Bm-----------C------------B----G-
1) Operator oh could you help me place this call
2) Operator oh could you help me place this call
3) Operator let's forget about this call

Am------------------------ D ---------- Em--
1) You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded
2) Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
3) There's no one there I really wanted to talk to

G---------- Bm ---- C ----- B ------ G
1) She's living in L.A. With my best old ex-friend Ray
2) There's something in my eye, You know it happens every time
3) Thank you for your time, Cause you've been so much more than kind

Am ----------------------------D7 ------- E--
1) A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
2) I think about the love that I thought would save me
3) You can keep the dime

chorus: G Isn't that the C way they say it G goes But lets for- C get all D that
G And give me the number if Am you can find it
C So I can D call just to Bm tell her I'm fine and to Am show
D I've overcome the C blow, I've learned to take it G well I only wish my Am words could just convince my- C self
That it just wasn't D7 real, but C that's not the way it G feels
