[D][]Oper[F#m]ator, []oh could you [G]help me []place this [D]call[]
[Em]You see the []number on the [A]matchbook is []old and [Bm]faded[][A][]
[D][]She's livin' in L.[F#m]A. []with my [G]best old []ex-friend [D]Ray[]
[Em]A []guy she said she [A]knew well and []sometimes [Bm]hated[][A][]

	[D]Ain't []that the [G]way they []say it [D]goes, []but let's [G]forget all [A]that
	[D]And give me the []number if [Em]you can []find it, so [Bm]I can []call just to [F#m]tell them I'm []fine
	And to [Em]show, [][A]I've over[]come the [G]blow, learned to []take it [D]well. I only []wish
	my [Em]words could con[]vince my[G]self that it []just wasn't [A]real, []but [G]that's not the []way it 
	[D]feels[][F#m - ][][G - ][][A][]

[D][]Oper[F#m]ator, []oh could you [G]help me []place this [D]call[]
[Em]'Cause I []can't read the [A]number that []you just [Bm]gave me[][A][]
[D]There's []something in my [F#m]eye's, []you know it [G]happens []every [D]time[]
[Em]I []think about the [A]love that I []thought would [Bm]save me[][A][]
