But lets forget all that

And give me the number if you can find it

So I can call just to tell her I'm fine and to show

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

I only wish my words could just convince myself

That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels

Operator oh could you help me place this call
Am Bm Em D C Bm A G

I think about the love that I thought would save me

Operator let's forget about this call
Am Bm Em D C Bm A G
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to

Thank you for your time,

Cause you've been so much more than kind
Am Bm Em D C B A G
You can keep the dime

CHORUS
