[Intro]
G Bm Am C Bm Am D7/F#
[Verse]
G Bm C Bm Am G C G
Operator oh could you help me place this call
Am D7/F# Em D5/C D5/B D5/A
'See the number on the matchbook is old and faded
G Bm C Bm Am G C G
She's living in L.A. with my best old ex-friend Ray
Am D7/F# Em D5/C D5/B D5/A
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
[Chorus]
G C/G G
Isn't that the way they say it goes
C D
But let's forget all that
G Am
And give me the number if you can find it
C D Em Bm D Am
So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to show
D7 C
I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well
G/B Am C
I only wish my words could just convince myself
D C
That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels
[Interlude]
G Bm Am C Bm Am D7/F#

Operator oh could you help me place this call
Am D7/F# Em D5 D5/C D5/B D5/A
Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
G Bm C Bm Am G C G
There's something in my eyes, you know it happens every time
Am D7/F# Em D5 D5/C D5/B D5/A
I think about the love that I thought would save me
[Chorus]
G C/G G
Isn't that the way they say it goes
C D
But lets forget all that

And give me the number if you can find it
C D Em Bm D Am
So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to show
D7 C
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

Thank you for your time,
Bm C Bm Am G C G
Cause you've been so much more than kind
Am D7/F# Em D5 D5/C D5/B D5/A
You can keep the dime
[Chorus]

I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well

That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels

It could just be me... but I think it might sound better if the "D C B A G" part switch to "D C Bm Am G"
I am plucking 2 strings on every chord as follows and it seems to sound right:
When playing D and C chord- I pluck G and e strings
When playing Bm and Am Chord- I pluck D and B
When playing the G chord- I pluck E and B.
Otherwise, Great job. :D

Great app if I would had this when I was young I would have never had to open an oyster in my life thanks

Also nice to see critiques/responses exchanged respectfully without defaulting to a display of pride protecting and ego slapping. I commend you previous posters; you have given to me a little hope that our kind may not be doomed.
