Eb Gm I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall Eb Gm If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall Eb I know he's there, but I just had to call Eb Bb Gm Don't leave me hanging on the telephone Eb Bb Gm Don't leave me hanging on the telephone Eb Gm I heard your mother, now she's going out the door Eb Gm Did she go to work or just go to the store? Eb All those things she said, I told you to ignore Cm Gm Oh why can't we talk again? Cm Gm Oh why can't we talk again? Cm Gm Oh why can't we talk again? Eb Bb Gm Don't leave me hanging on the telephone Eb Bb Gm Don't leave me hanging on the telephone Eb Gm It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long Eb Gm If I don't get your calls then everything goes wrong Eb I want to tell you something you've known all along Eb Bb Gm Don't leave me hanging on the telephone Eb Gm I had to interrupt and stop this conversation Eb Gm Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation Eb I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection Cm Gm Oh I can't control myself! Cm Gm Oh I can't control myself! Cm Gm Oh I can't control myself! Eb Bb Gm Don't leave me hanging on the telephone Eb Gm Hang up and run to me! Oh! Eb Gm Hang up and run to me! Oh! Eb Hang up and run to me! ( Eb Bb/D Bb F Gm )
