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

            Am         G
Well, let's forget all that   

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

   Am                  G                        Dm
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

C                         Dm
I only wish my words could just convince myself

F                      G
That it just wasn't real

   C
But that's not the way it feels
[Interlude] Em Dm F C [Verse 2]

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
