[Intro]
G Bm Am
C Em7 Am D7
G Bm Am
C Em7 Am D7

[Verse 1]
G    Bm                  
  Operator, 
               C       Am   
Well, could you help me place 
     C    G
this call?
Am                    D7    
See the number on the matchbook 
           Em   D C Bm D
is old and faded
G                Bm         
She's living in LA, 
        C        Am        C G
with my best old ex-friend Ray;
Am                  D7                     
A guy she said she knew well 
              Em   D C Bm Am
and sometimes hated.

[CHORUS]
    G              C
But isn't that the way 
            G
they say it goes?
             C       D7
But let's forget all that
    G                   
And give me the number 
   Am
if you can find it
   C D   Em           
So I can call 
        Bm            D7    
just to tell them I'm fine 
       Am
and to show,
D7                  C                       
  I've overcome the blow, 
                        G
I've learned to take it well
               Am                
I only wish my words 
                      C
could just convince myself
                    D7        
That it just wasn't real, 
    C                     [ G ]
but that's not the way it feels

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
G    Bm                    
  Operator, 
               C       Am   
Well, could you help me place 
     C    G
this call?
       Am               D7                   
'Cause I can't read the number 
              Em     D C Bm Am
that you just gave me
G                       Bm                
There's something in my eyes, 
            C       Am    C   G
you know it happens every time.
  Am              D7                       
I think about the love that  
                Em     D C Bm Am
I thought would save me

[CHORUS]
    G              C
But isn't that the way 
            G
they say it goes?
             C       D7
But let's forget all that
    G                   
And give me the number 
   Am
if you can find it
   C D   Em           
So I can call 
        Bm            D7    
just to tell them I'm fine 
       Am
and to show,
D7                  C                       
  I've overcome the blow, 
                        G
I've learned to take it well
               Am

                      C

                    D7        
That it just wasn't real, 
    C                     G
but that's not the way it feels

[BRIDGE]
C              G               
No, no, no, no       
C              D7     G
That's not the way it feels

[Verse 3]
G    Bm
  Operator, 
             C    Am
Oh, let's forget about 
     C    G
this call;
        Am                        
There's no one there 
D7                 Em     D C Bm Am
I really wanted to talk to.
G                  Bm                   
Thank you for your time, 
                C      
Oh, you've been so much 
Am        C    G
more than kind.
Am               D7   Em  D C Bm Am
You can keep the dime...

[CHORUS]
    G              C
