A           A7M                A7 
Hello - how are you - have you been alright? 
                                   Bb?                 Bm 
Through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights 
                E   Bm               C#m         D 
That's what I'd say,   I'd tell you everything 
               E           A            D7M 
If you'd pick up that telephone, yeah, yeah, yeah 
 

A             A7M                    A7 
Hey - how you feeling' - are you still the same? 
                                       Bb?             Bm 
Don't you realize the things we did, we did were all for real 
        E   Bm       C#m           D 
Not a dream ,  I just can't believe 
             E           A         
They've all faded out of view...  
D7M          A                D7M 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 
 
  
A          F#m                D           E 
 Doo wop, doobie doo doo wop, doo wa doo lang 
A          F#m             D           E 
 Blue days,   black nights, doo wa doo lang 
A        F#m            
 I look into the sky   
D                               E 
(The love you need ain't gonna see you through) 
A        F#m        
 And I wonder why   
D                                     E 
(The little things you planned ain't coming true) 
A           A/G#  F#m 
Oh, oh, telephone line 
       F#m/E  D                      E  F11+ 
Give me some  time, I'm living in twilight 
A           A/G#  F#m 
Oh, oh, telephone line 
       F#m/E  D                      E  F11+   
Give me some  time, I'm living in twilight   
G A  Am C9 F G 
 
A             A7M                
 Okay, so no one's answering  
                A7                                                 Bb?            
Well can't you just let it ring a little longer, longer, longer... ohh, oh 
Bm               E    Bm                   C#m            D 
  I'll just sit tight,  through the shadows of the night 
         E           A     D7M              A     D7M 
Let it ring for evermore       yeah, yeah, yeah
