Lyrics

[Intro]
I'm in the phone booth,
         Ebsus2
it's the one   across the hall

[Verse 1]
Gm
  If you don't answer,
          Ebsus2
I'll just ring  it off the wall
Gm
  I know he's there,
    Ebsus2
but I     just had to call

[Chorus]
                  Eb          Fsus4    Gm
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
                  Eb          Fsus4    Gm
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

[Verse 2]
Gm
  I heard your mother,
          Ebsus2
now she's going out the door
Gm                      Ebsus2
  Did she go to work or just  go to the store?
Gm
  All those things she said,
  Ebsus2
I told  you to ignore
                 Cm
Oh, why can't we talk again?

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm                 Cm
  Oh, why can't we talk again?
Gm                 Cm
  Oh, why can't we talk again?

[Chorus]
                  Eb          Fsus4    Gm
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
                  Eb          Fsus4    Gm
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
It's good to hear your voice,
    Ebsus2
you know  it's been so long

[Verse 3]
Gm
  If I don't get your calls,
     Ebsus2
then everything goes wrong
Gm                             Ebsus2
  I want to tell you something you've known all along

[Chorus]
                  Ebsus2      Fsus4    Gm
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

[Solo]
Eb Gm Eb Gm
Eb Eb Bb/D Fsus4
                       Ebsus2
I had to interrupt and stop  this conversation

[Verse 4]
Gm                                 Ebsus2
  Your voice across the line gives me    a strange
sensation
Gm                            Ebsus2
  I'd like to talk when I can show  you my affection
                Cm
Oh, I can't control myself

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm                Cm
  Oh, I can't control myself
Gm                Cm
  Oh, I can't control myself

[Chorus]
                  Eb          Fsus4    Gm
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
     Ebsus2              Gm
Hang up    and run to me oh
     Ebsus2              Gm
Hang up    and run to me oh
     Ebsus2              Gm
Hang up    and run to me oh
     Ebsus2
Hang up    and run to me
Gm               Ebsus2
Ohh, woah, woah, woah  
Run to me, yeah
