[Verse 1]
                              [D#]
I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
[Gm]                             [D#]
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall
[Gm]                     [D#]
I know he's there, but I just got to call

[Refrain]
               [D#]             [Cm]   [Gm]
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
               [D#]             [Cm]   [Gm]
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

[Verse 2]
[Gm]                            [D#]
I heard your mother now she's going out the door
[Gm]                    [D#]
Did she go to work or just go to the store?
[Gm]                            [D#]
All those things she said, I told you to ignore

[Bridge 1]
                 [Cm]            [Gm]
Oh, why can't we talk again
                 [Cm]            [Gm]
Oh, why can't we talk again
                 [Cm]
Oh, why can't we talk again

[Refrain]
               [Cm]             [A#]   [Gm]
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

[Verse 3]
                              [D#]
It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
[Gm]                            [D#]
If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong
[Gm]                           [D#]
I want to tell you something you've known all along
               [D#]             [Cm]   [Gm]
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

[Verse 4]
                   [D#]
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
[Gm]                               [D#]
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
[Gm]                          [D#]
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection

[Bridge 2]

Oh, I can't control myself
               [Cm]
Oh, I can't control myself

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
               [Cm]             [A#]   [Gm]
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

[Outro]
     [D#]
Hang up and run to me
[Gm]         [D#]
Woah, hang up and run to me
[Gm]         [D#]
Woah, hang up and run to me
