G Bm C G
Operator, well could you help me place this call
Am D Em D
See the number on the matchbook is old an faded
G Bm
She's living in L.A
C G
With my best old ex friend Ray
Am D7 Em D C Bm D
Guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
G C G
But isn't that the way they say it goes
C D
But let's forget all that
G Am
And give me the number if you can find it
C D Em D Em C
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
D C
I've overcome the blow
Em G
I've learned to take it well
Am C G
I only wish my words could just convince myself
C D
That it just wasn't real
C G
But that's not the way it feels
G Bm C G
Operator, well could you help me place this call
Am D Em D
Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
G Bm
There's something in my eyes
C G
You know it happens every time
Am D7 Em D C Bm D
I think about the love that I thought would save me
G C G
But isn't that the way they say it goes
C D
But let's forget all that
G Am
And give me the number if you can find it
C D Em D Em C
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
D C
I've overcome the blow
Em G
I've learned to take it well
Am C G
I only wish my words could just convince myself
C D
That it just wasn't real
C G
But that's not the way it feels
C G
No, no, no, no, that's not the way it feels
G Bm C G
Operator, let's forget about this call
Am D Em D
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
G Bm
Thank you for your time
C G
Oh you've been so much more than kind
Am D7 Em D C Bm D
You can keep the dime
G C G
But isn't that the way they say it goes
C D
But let's forget all that
G Am
And give me the number if you can find it
C D Em D Em C
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
D C
I've overcome the blow
Em G
I've learned to take it well
Am C G
I only wish my words could just convince myself
C D
That it just wasn't real
C G
But that's not the way it feels
