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 )
