Verse 1:
D MajorD   F#7F#7    G+G  G minorGm
 Operators are standing by
D MajorD     G+G       D MajorD   G+G
 Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee
D MajorD      F#7F#7     G+G     G minorGm
 Bounce their shoes at the end of their feet
   D MajorD    A augmentedA    G+G
 And wish they could go home

Chorus:
C majorC  D MajorD     G+G     B minorBm
 Operators are standing by
C majorC    D MajorD      G+G    B minorBm
 Poking holes in the ceiling tiles
C majorC    D MajorD     G+G      B minorBm
 Making jokes about their old boyfriends and
C majorC  G/BG/B    A7A7
  Days gone by

Verse 2:
Operators are standing by
Talking about their portrayal
On the TV where an actress sits
With a headset in outer space

Bridge:
 A augmentedA           G+G D MajorD
That's enough talking, ladies.

Verse 3:
Operators are standing by
Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee
Pass 'round a picture of a mobius strip
And wish they could go home

end on D MajorD
