Tom: Bm
D F#7 G Gm
Operators are standing by
D G D G
Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee
D F#7 G Gm
Bounce their shoes at the end of their feet
D A G
And wish they could go home
Chorus:
C D G Bm
Operators are standing by
C D G Bm
Poking holes in the ceiling tiles
C D G Bm
Making jokes about their old boyfriends and
C G/B A7
Days gone by
Verse 2:
Operators are standing by
Talking about their portrayal
On the TV where an actress sits
With a headset in outer space
Bridge:
A G D
That's enough talking, ladies.
Verse 3:
Operators are standing by
Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee
Pass 'round a picture of a mobius strip
And wish they could go home
