[Verse 1]
G     Bm
 Operator,
               C    G6/B     Am    G    C G6/B Am G
well could you help me  place  this call
Am
  See,
                  D7/F#                   Em
the number on the match book is old and faded
D7 C Bm Am7 G                    Bm
             She's living in L. A
            C   G6/B  Am G      C G6/B Am G
With my best old    exfriend Ray
Am                   D7/F#                     Em
  A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
D7 C Bm Am7

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

Am                        D7/F#                    Em
  'Cause I can't read the number that you just gave  me
D7 C Bm Am7
G                            Bm
 There's something in my eyes
            C      G6/B   Am G C  G6/B Am G
You know it happens    every  time
Am                      D7/F#                         Em
  I think about the love     that I thought would save  me
D7 C Bm Am7
