Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels) by Jim Croce
[Intro]
G Bm Am
C Em7 Am D7
G Bm Am
C Em7 Am D7
[Verse 1]
G Bm
Operator,
C Am
Well, could you help me place
C G
this call?
Am D7
See the number on the matchbook
Em D C Bm D
is old and faded
G Bm
She's living in LA,
C Am C G
with my best old ex-friend Ray;
Am D7
A guy she said she knew well
Em D C Bm Am
and sometimes hated.
[CHORUS]
G C
But isn't that the way
G
they say it goes?
C D7
But let's forget all that
G
And give me the number
Am
if you can find it
C D Em
So I can call
Bm D7
just to tell them I'm fine
Am
and to show,
D7 C
I've overcome the blow,
G
I've learned to take it well
Am
I only wish my words
C
could just convince myself
D7
That it just wasn't real,
C [ G ]
but that's not the way it feels
[Interlude]
G Bm Am
C Em7 Am D7
[ G ]
[Verse 2]
G Bm
Operator,
C Am
Well, could you help me place
C G
this call?
Am D7
'Cause I can't read the number
Em D C Bm Am
that you just gave me
G Bm
There's something in my eyes,
C Am C G
you know it happens every time.
Am D7
I think about the love that
Em D C Bm Am
I thought would save me
[CHORUS]
G C
But isn't that the way
G
they say it goes?
C D7
But let's forget all that
G
And give me the number
Am
if you can find it
C D Em
So I can call
Bm D7
just to tell them I'm fine
Am
and to show,
D7 C
I've overcome the blow,
G
I've learned to take it well
Am
I only wish my words
C
could just convince myself
D7
That it just wasn't real,
C G
but that's not the way it feels
[BRIDGE]
C G
No, no, no, no
C D7 G
That's not the way it feels
[Verse 3]
G Bm
Operator,
C Am
Oh, let's forget about
C G
this call;
Am
There's no one there
D7 Em D C Bm Am
I really wanted to talk to.
G Bm
Thank you for your time,
C
Oh, you've been so much
Am C G
more than kind.
Am D7 Em D C Bm Am
You can keep the dime...
[CHORUS]
G C
But isn't that the way
G
they say it goes?
C D7
But let's forget all that
G
And give me the number
Am
if you can find it
C D Em
So I can call
Bm D7
just to tell them I'm fine
Am
and to show,
D7 C
I've overcome the blow,
G
I've learned to take it well
Am
I only wish my words
C
could just convince myself
D7
That it just wasn't real,
C [ G ]
but that's not the way it feels
