Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I'm in the phone booth,
it's the [C]one across the hall
[Em]If you don't answer, I'll just ring [C]it off the wall
[Em]I know he's there, but I jus[C]t had to call

[Chorus 1]
Don't leave me [C]hanging
on the [D]tele[Em]phone
Don't leave me [C]hanging
on the [D]tele[Em]phone

[Verse 2]
[Em]I heard your mother,
now she's [C]going out the door
[Em]Did she go to work
or [C]just go to the store?
[Em]All those things she said,
I [C]told you to ignore

[Pre-chorus 1]
Oh, why can't we [Am]talk again?
[Em]Oh, why can't we talk [Am]again?
[Em]Oh, why can't we talk [Am]again?

[Chorus 2]
Don't leave me [C]hanging
on the [D]tele[Em]phone
Don't leave me [C]hanging
on the [D]tele[Em]phone

[Verse 3]
It's good to hear your voice,
you [C]know it's been so long
[Em]If I don't get your calls,
then [C]everything goes wrong
[Em]I want to tell you
something [C]you've known all along
Don't leave me hanging on the [D]telephone

[Solo 1]
[Em][C][Em][C]
[Em][C][C]
[C][D][Em]

[Verse 4]
I had to interrupt and [C]stop this conversation
[Em]Your voice across the line
gives [C]me a strange sensation
[Em]I'd like to talk
when I can [C]show you my affection

[Pre-chorus 2]
Oh, I can't con[Am]trol myself
[Em]Oh, I can't control [Am]myself
[Em]Oh, I can't control [Am]myself

[Chorus 3]
Don't leave me [C]hanging
on the [D]tele[Em]phone
Hang [C]up and run to me
[Em]Oh, hang u[C]p and run to me
[Em]Oh, hang u[C]p and run to me
[Em]Oh, hang u[C]p and run to me
[Em]Oh, woah, woah, wo[C]ah, run to me, yeah
[C][B][G][D][Em]
