Am       G
Little black submarines
D   A
Operator please
Am      G           A
Put me back on the line
Am       G
Told my girl I'd be back
D   A
Operator please
Am       G           A
This is wrecking my mind

Chorus:
Am          G
Oh, can it be
     D              A
The voices calling me
A     C            D      A
They get lost and out of time
   Am                 G
I should've seen it glow
    D          A
But everybody knows
         C      D        A
That a broken heart is blind
A        C      D        A
That a broken heart is blind

Pick you up, let you down
When I wanna go to a place I can hide
You know me, I had plans
But they just disappeared to the back of my mind

Chorus

Treasure maps, fallen trees
Operator, please call me back when it's time
Stolen friends and disease
Operator, please patch me back to my mind

Chorus

That a broken heart is blind
