[G]Ope r[Bm]ator oh could you h[C]elp me place this c[C]al[-]l [C/B] [-] [C/A] [-] [G]
Am [cb]Am/A#[/cb] Em (to bass run on D chord) D D/C D/B D/A
You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded

Am [cb]Am/A#[/cb] Em (to bass run on D chord) D D/C D/B D/A
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
Chorus:
[G]Isn't that the w[C]ay they say it g[G]oes

And g[G]ive me the number if [Am]you can find it
So [C]I can c[Em]all just to t[Bm]ell her I'm fine and to s[Am]how
[D7]I've overcome the b[C]low, I've learned to take it w[G]ell
I only wish my w[Am]ords could just convince my[C]self
That it just wasn't re[D]al, but t[C]hat's not the way it fe[G]els
[G]Oper a[Bm]tor oh could you he[C]lp me place this ca[C]ll[-] [C/B] [-] [C/A] [-] [G]

There's something in my eye, you know it happens every time
Am [cb]Am/A#[/cb] Em (to bass run on D chord) D D/C D/B D/A
I think about the love that I thought would save me
CHORUS

Am [cb]Am/A#[/cb] Em (to bass run on D chord) D D/C D/B D/A
You can keep the dime.
