Operator -Diana Krall
[G] [Bm] [C] [G]
Operator oh could you help me place this call
[Am] [D] [Em] [D]
You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded
[G] [Bm] [C] [Am7] [G]
He's living in L.A. with my best old ex-friend Ray
[Am] [D7] [Em] [D]
A girl he said he knew well and sometimes hated
[G] [C] [G]
Isn't that the way they say it goes
[C] [D]
But let’s forget all that
[G] [Am]
And give me the number if you can find it
[C] [G] [Am] [Em] [Bm] [Am]
So I can call just to tell him I'm fine and to show
[D] [C] [Em]
I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well
[Am] [C]
I only wish my words could just convince myself
[D] [C] [G]
That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels
[G] [Bm] [C] [G]
[G] [Bm] [C] [G]
Operator could you help me place this call
[Am] [D7] [Em] [D]
Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
[G] [Bm] [C] [G]
There's something in my eyes, you know it happens every time
[Am] [D7] [Em] [D] [C] [Em] [D]
I think about the love that I thought would save me
[G] [C] [G]
But isn't that the way they say it goes
[C] [D]
But let’s forget all that
[G] [Am]
And give me the number if you can find it
[C] [G] [D] [Em] [Bm] [Am]
So I can call just to tell him I'm fine and to show
