Operator

G Bm C G/B C/A G C (G/B Am G)

Operator oh could you help me place this call

Am D7/F# Em (D D/C D/B D/A G)

You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded

G Bm C G/B C/A G C (G/B Am G)

She's living in L.A. with my best old ex-friend Ray

Am D7/F# Em (D D/C D/B D/A G)

A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated

Isn't

that the

way

they say it

goes

But lets for

get

all

that

And

give

me the number if

you

can find it

So

I

can

call

just to

tell

her I'm

fine

and to

show

I've

overcome the

blow,

I've learned to take it

well

I only wish my

words

could just convince my

self

That it just wasn't

real,

but

that's

not the way it fe

els

Operator oh could you help me place this call

Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me

There's something in my eye, you know it happens every time

I think about the love that I thought would save me

(Chorus)

Operator let's forget about this call

There's no one there I really wanted to talk to

Thank you for your time, cause you've been so much more than kind

You can keep the dime

(Chorus)
