Em
Monday, Tuesday, three days and more
G                       Am
Pretty soon you don't know anymore
Em
Friday, the sixth day, Saturday seems late
G                    Am
Don't know how much longer I can wait

Chorus:
C              Am
Oh, could you wait until I get home
C      Am
Oh, we need to be alone
C                   Am
'N' I don't want to lose
    B7           Em     G Am
My love on the telephone

You make me nervous 'cause the line's engaged
I can't believe we let it get to this stage
Sitting here waiting for you to give me a sign
You know I got my heart on the line

Chorus:
Ooh, I know that I was wrong
Ooh, I've been away too long
I can't stand to lose
My love on the telephone

Bm  D     Em   D
Hello operator
      C                  Bm             Am Bm
You know that I've been waiting on this call
         D      Em   D
I said, hey, operator
           C          Bm
If you're giving me a bad time
     Am                 B7                  Em G Am
I'm going to tear this phone right off the wall

Monday, Tuesday, three days and more
Pretty soon I don't know anymore
Friday, the sixth day, Saturday seems late
Don't know how much longer I can wait

Chorus:
Ooh, can't you wait 'til I get home?
Ooh, we need to be alone
And I don't want to lose
My love on the telephone

Ooh, I'm running out of time
Ooh, my heart is on the line
And I don't want to lose
My love on the telephone

Ooh, maybe I was wrong
Ooh, I've been away too long
And I can't stand to lose
My love on the telephone
