Capo:no capo
Usualy, the intervals between notes in my
tabs
correspond with the rhythm of the song. But not in this tab, because I had to
synchronize
(Gtr 1), the lyrics and (Gtr 2) all in one tab. Just listen tot the song and
you'll find out
the right rhythm.

Operator, oh, could you help me place this call?
See the number on the matchbook is old and faded
She's living in L.A.
With my best old ex-friend, Ray
Guy, she said she knew well, and sometimes hated
But isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So, I can call just to tell 'em 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?
'Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
There's something in my eyes
You know it happens every time
I think about a love that I thought would save me
But isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell 'em 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, no, no, no, no
That's not the way it feels
Operator, oh, let's forget about this call
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time
Ah, you've been so much more than kind
You can keep the dime
But isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell 'em 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
