[Intro] C Em Dm7 F C [Verse 1]
     Em                  F
Operator, well could you help me place this call?

Dm                     G                    Am    G
See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded

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

Dm                   G                       Am  Gm
... guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
[Chorus]
C                  F                    C
but Isn't that the way...   they say it goes?

                F         G
Well, let's forget all that

 C                            Dm7
And give me the number if you can find it

   Dm    Am           G                        Dm7
So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to show

G                       F
I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well

Am                   Dm7
I only wish my words could just convince myself

F                       G
That it just wasn't real

F                              C
But that's not the way it feels

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

C                            Em               F
There's something in my eyes,   you know it happens every time

Dm                     G                               Am   G
.... I think about the love that I thought would save me
