Hanging On The Telephone by Blondie
Standard tuning
[Verse 1]
N.C. Eb
I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
Gm Eb
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall
Gm Eb
I know he's there, but I just got to call
[Refrain]
Eb Cm Gm
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Eb Cm Gm
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
[Verse 2]
Gm Eb
I heard your mother now she's going out the door
Gm Eb
Did she go to work or just go to the store?
Gm Eb
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 Bb Gm
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Cm Bb Gm
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
[Verse 3]
N.C. Eb
It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
Gm Eb
If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong
Gm Eb
I want to tell you something you've known all along
Eb Cm Gm
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
[Thought I'd better put the solo in since it absolutely rocks.]

[Verse 4]
N.C. Eb
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
Gm Eb
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
Gm Eb
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection
[Bridge 2]
Cm Gm
Oh, I can't control myself
Cm Gm
Oh, I can't control myself
Cm
Oh, I can't control myself
[Refrain]
Cm Bb Gm
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Cm Bb Gm
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
[Outro]
Eb
Hang up and run to me
Gm Eb
Woah, hang up and run to me
Gm Eb
Woah, hang up and run to me
Gm Eb
Woah, hang up and run to me
Gm Eb
Woah oh oh oh oh run to me
Then the last part of the solo repeats once more -
