Tom: A 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
