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 )
