Telephone Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Wha[Bm]t can[A] I[D] get
you on the telephone?
[Bm]It always seems like you're never home
[G]But I know that you are
cause all your friends have [A]told me
so [D]I even had the operator
check the light
[Bm]But she came back and
said everything's fine
[G]But if everything is okay,
then why can't [A]I get through?
[G]So I listen to the [A]telephone
ring [D]off the wall
Hoping that you'll take the call
[G]Now it's clear to me what
[A]I've been missing
[D]All in all, I realize I've been a fool
[G]I know I said we'd never b[A]e a[G]part
I never meant [A]to break your heart
[G]I could fix it if y[A]ou'd
just [D]answer[G][A]
[D]I'm in the clomox just across the way
[Bm]You don't pick up so I dial again
[G]I even left a message
which you haven't [A]called me back
[D]I saw your sister
and I asked her what to do
[Bm]She said keep trying
but I'm still not getting through
[G]Now it seems that you just took
the handset [A]off the hook
[G]So I listen to the [A]busy signal
[D]All I've done,
waiting till the phone's back on
[G]And now I see how it [A]all makes sense
Since [D]you've been gone
I understand what I did wrong
[G]I know I said we'd always b[A]e together
[G]An d I would love you [A]always and forever
[G]I could fix it if y[A]ou'd just a[D]nswer
[Em][G][A][D][Bm][G][D][Bm]
[G][A]
Ba [D]ba ba ba [Bm]ba b[D]a ba[G][A]
[G]So I listen to the [A]telephone
ringing [D]off the wall
Hoping that you'll take the call
[G]Now it's clear to me what
[A]I've been missing
And [D]all in all, I realize I've been a fool
[G]I know I said we'd never b[A]e apart
[G]I never meant to b[A]reak your heart
[G]I ain't conviction if y[A]ou just don't
[A]saw[D][G][A][D][G][A][D][G][A][D]
Bye
