Transparen't - Operator

	  		Intro: C Em Dm7 F C 


Verse: 1 
     Em                  F 
Operator, well could you help me place this call? 
Dm                     G                    Am    G 
See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded 
 C                    Em                   F 
She's living in L. A.     with my best old ex -friend Ray 
Dm                   G                       Am  Gm 
... guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated 


C                  F                    C 
but Isn't that the way...   they say it goes? 
                F         G 
Well, let's forget all that 
 C                            Dm7 
And give me the number if you can find it 
   Dm    Am           G                        Dm7 
So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to show 
G                       F 
I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well 
Am                   Dm7 
I only wish my words could just convince myself 
F                       G 
That it just wasn't real 
F                              C 
But that's not the way it feels

cuz I can't read the number that you just gave me 
C                            Em               F 
There's something in my eyes,   you know it happens every time 
Dm                     G                               Am   G 
.... I think about the love that I thought would save me
