Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I h[Cm]ad th[G]e[Cm]
[G]operator call me back
She [Cm]said my phone is working [G]fine
I hear in Louisville it's almost dawn
[Cm]But it's 2 a.m. Pacific [Gm]time[G]

[Verse 2]
[C]I thought sure she would've called by now
[D]To tell me all abo[Em]ut that
wild [Dsus4]and crazy LA [Cm]scene
[C]Well, I kno[G]w my number's in her book
Why [Cm]don't that telephone ring?
[G]

[Verse 3]
[Dm]
[G]Don't she [C]know I'm
[Am]anxiously wait[G]ing
Longing for [C]her [Am]long distance [G]call
I wish I knew [C]what her [Am]si
lence is say[Bm]ing[Cm]
If my love means any[G]thing
[Cm]Why don't that telephone ring?[G]
[C][Em][Am][Bm][Cm]

[Verse 4]
[G]
She's always had this distant [Cm]dream
I said, "Go make it come [G]true
And you know whatever's
in the card[Cm]s
I'll be [G]right here for you"

[Verse 5]
[C]But that's been too long ago
[D]And now I just don't [Em]know
If [Dsus4]I'm still a part [D]of her [C]dream
If I [G]ever cross her mind at [Cm]all
Why don't that [G]telephone ring?

[Verse 6]
[Dm]
[G]Don't she [C]know I'm
[Am]anxiously [G]waiting
Longing for [C]her [Am]long dis[G]tance call
I wish I knew [C]what her [Am]silence
is say[Bm]ing[Cm]
If my love means any[G]thing
[Cm]Why don't that telephone ring?[G]
