[C][Am][D]
[G][Bm][Am]
[C][Am][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Operator[Bm],
oh could you [C]help me [Am]place this [C]call[G]
[Am]You see the number on the matc[D]hbook
is old and [Em]fad e[D]d
[G]She's livin' in L.A[Bm]
With my [C]best old [Am]ex- friend [C]Ray[G]
[Am]A guy she said she knew [D]well
and sometimes [Em]hat [D]ed

[Chorus 1]
[G]Isn't that the way[C] they say it goe[G]s
But let's for[C]get all [D]that
And [G]give me the number if [Am]you can find it
So [C]I c[D]an c[Em]all just to t[Bm]ell them I'm f[D]ine
and to [Am]show
[D]I've overcome the blo[C]w
I've learned to take it [Bm]well
I only wish my [Am]words
could just convince my[C]self
That it just wasn't [D]real
But [C]that's not the way it feels

[G]Operator[Bm],
oh could you [C]help me [Am]place this [C]call[G]
[Am]Cause I can't read the numbe[D]r
that you just [Em]gave [D]me
[G]There's something in my eye[Bm]s
You know it [C]happens [Am]eve ry t[C]ime[G]
[Am]I think about the love[D]
that I thought would [Em]save [D]me

[Chorus 2]
[G]Isn't that the way[C] they say it goe[G]s
But let's for[C]get all [D]that
And [G]give me the number if [Am]you can find it
So [C]I c[D]an c[Em]all just to t[Bm]ell them I'm f[D]ine
and to [Am]show
[D]I've overcome the blo[C]w
I've learned to take it [Bm]well
I only wish my [Am]words
could just convince my[C]self
That it just wasn't [D]real
But [C]that's not the way it feels
[G]No,[C] no, no, no
[G]Tha[C]t's not the way it feels

[Verse 3]
[G]Operator[Bm],
oh let's for[C]get a[Am]bout this [C]call[G]
[Am]There's no one there
[D]I really wanted to tal[Em]k to[D]
[G]Thank you for your tim[Bm]e
Oh you've been [C]so much [Am]more than [C]kind[G]
[Am]You can keep the dime[D][Em][D]

[Chorus 3]
[G]Isn't that the way[C] they say it goe[G]s
But let's for[C]get all [D]that
And [G]give me the number if [Am]you can find it
So [C]I c[D]an c[Em]all just to t[Bm]ell them I'm f[D]ine
and to [Am]show
[D]I've overcome the blo[C]w
I've learned to take it [Bm]well

That it just wasn't [D]real
But [C]that's not the way it feels
