A
Now I thought it over how it's come to this

I must have lost all my common sense
            D
I been chasin' a dream runnin' through my
A
mind

So I called her up to say how I felt

Just before I could get it out she was
D                                     A
gone, the silence was on
                   E
She didn't hear a word, she just hung up
       A
the phone


[Chorus]
A
Operator, operator, could you be so kind
                                     D
As to reconnect this number, I just spent
               A
my last dime
                         E
She's got my love on hold and my heart is
             A
on the line


[Verse 2]
A
Well I was always just one step ahead

Just close to keep my fingers wet
             D
I been actin a fool and foolin' no one but
A
myself

But now I'm ready to talk if you're willing

to hear

The choice of words is my biggest fear, I'd
        D
say anything, yes I would, just
                             A
To change your mind
                           E
You've got my love on hold and my heart
                 A
is on the line


[Chorus]
A
Operator, operator, could you be so kind
                                      D
As to reconnect this number, I just spent
               A
my last dime
                         E
She's got my love on hold and my heart is
             A
on the line
A
Operator, operator, could you be so kind
                                     D
As to reconnect this number, I just spent
               A
my last dime
                         E
She's got my love on hold and my heart is
             A
on the line
