N.Eb
I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
Eb
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall
Eb
I know he's there, but I just got to call

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
        Gm
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

Eb
I heard your mother now she's going out the door
Eb
Did she go to work or just go to the store?
Eb
All those things she said, I told you to ignore
         Gm
Oh, why can't we talk again
         Gm
Oh, why can't we talk again
         Cm
Oh, why can't we talk again
        Gm
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
        Gm
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone


N.Eb
It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
Eb
If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong
Eb
I want to tell you something you've known all along
        Gm
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone


[Thought I'd better put the solo in since it absolutely rocks.]

N.Eb
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
Eb
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
Eb
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection
        Gm
Oh, I can't control myself
        Gm
Oh, I can't control myself

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

Hang up and run to me
Eb
Woah, hang up and run to me

Woah, hang up and run to me
Eb
Woah, hang up and run to me
