BLONDIE - HANGING ON THE TELEPHONE



VERSE 1 -

I'm in the phone booth, it's the [Cadd9]one across the hall  [Em]

If you don't answer, I'll just [Cadd9]ring it off the wall  [Em]

I know he's there, but [Cadd9]I just had to call [Em]


CHORUS -

Don't leave me [C]hanging on the [D]tele[Em]phone
Don't leave me [C]hanging on the [D]tele[Em]phone

 VERSE 2-

I heard your mother now she's [Cadd9]going out the door [Em]
Did she go to work or [Cadd9]just go to the store[Em]
All those things she said, I [Cadd9]told you to ignore[Em]

BRIDGE-

Oh why can't we [D5]talk again [A]
Oh why can't we [D5]talk again [A]
Oh why can't we [D5]talk again [A]

CHORUS -

Don't leave me [C]hanging on the [D]tele...[Em]phone

Don't leave me [C]hanging on the [D]tele....[G]phone

VERSE 3 -

It's good to hear your voice, you [Cadd9]know it's been so long [Em]

If I don't get your call then [Cadd9]everything goes wrong [Em]

I want to tell you something [Cadd9]you've known all along

BRIDGE -

Don't leave me [C]hanging on the [D]telephone [Em]

(Guitar solo at this point but I'm not sure how to write tabs sorry)

                                                                  Em
I had to interrupt and [Cadd9]stop this conversation [Em]

Your voice across the line gives [Cadd9]me a strange sensation [Em]

I'd like to talk when I can [Cadd9]show you my affection [Em]

BRIDGE -

Oh I can't [D5]control myself [A]

Oh I can't [D5]control myself[A]

Oh I can't [D5]control myself [A]

CHORUS -

Don't leave me [C]hanging on the [D]telephone[Em]

OUTRO -
Hang [D5]up and run to [A]me

Whoah, hang [D5]up and run to [A]me

Whoah, hang [D5]up and run to [A]me

Whoah, hang [D5]up and run to [A]me

Whoah oh oh [D5]oh run to [A]me


[C]                   [D]                      *Strum once * [Em]

(Its not a hundred percent accurate but I think it sounds similar, I hope this was of 
any use to any-one)
