■  Operator could you help me place this call

You see the number on the match box is old and faded

A girl he said he knew well but sometimes hated ■

But lets forget all that ■ 
    Ab                        Bbm        
And give me the number if you can find it

So I can call just to tell him I'm fine

I learned to take it well
Ab                   Bbm7       Bbm
