A Now I thought it over how it’s come to this A I must have lost all my common sense D A I been chasin’ a dream runnin’ through my mind A So I called her up to say how I felt A D A Just before I could get it out she was gone, the silence was on E A She didn’t hear a word, she just hung up the phone Chorus: A Operator, operator, could you be so kind A D A As to reconnect this number, I just spent my last dime E A She’s got my love on hold and my heart is on the line Solo Well I was always just one step ahead Just close to keep my fingers wet I been actin a fool and foolin no one but myself But now I’m ready to talk if you’re willing to hear The choice of words is my biggest fear, I’d say anything, yes I would, just to change your mind You’ve got my love on hold and my heart is on the line Chorus Chorus
