___Verse: 1 

 E 
 Georgie grew to hate her name 
    A              B6 
 it sounded like a tiny man 
         Emaj7 
 and the one she had said "I can't see you, 
A                 E       B/D#     A/C# 
 but I'll call you when___ever I___can" 
                           E6         B              A6 
 sometimes the phone would ring, when she was half__a_sleep 
               E6                 B              A          
 a voice would drag her down with it's suggestions 
                       E          C    Em7            Dmaj7 
 though she often felt cheated___, she never felt___cheap 

F#m 
 Well heaven knows what fi___lls the heart 
G                   Bm 
 and makes you feel so___alive 
A                   C#m 
 It's impossible to tear___apart 
 Cmaj7      Am7              D

___Verse: 2 

 Emaj7 
 It was half___past Fe__bruary 
        A                   B6 
 and he hadn't called since New Year's Day 
 Emaj7               E6 
 Maybe he'd found ano___ther woman 
    A                  E      B/D#        A/C# 
 to say those words no chapel girl should say 
                    Emaj7   B               A6 
 her mother would phone and always keep her talking 
                   E     B        A 
 she'd try to be polite, making fa__ces 
                      E                 Cmaj7    Am7           Dmaj7 
 but somewhere in the back of her mind, her ri___val was stal__king 


F#m 
 Well heaven knows what fi___lls the heart 
G                   Bm 
 and makes you feel so___alive 
A                   C#m 
 It's impossible to tear___apart 
 Cmaj7      Am7             D 
 Geor__gie__and__her__ri____val 

___Bridge: 

G#m              Emaj7 
 Her rival would al__ways wait___ 
C#m7      G#m7        Eb 
 till the eighth or ni___nth bell___ 
G#m                E            A/C#       D6  Dmaj7 
 he'd be desperate an___yway and drunk as well______ 
     Bm                 Bm/A        G#dim7            E7 
 she always liked to hurt__him___to prove he was prepa___red 
    Bm             Bm/A            G#dim7 
 to love her an__yway__that she wan___ted 
        E             C6           D 
 so she could tell____which she preferred 

___Verse: 3 

 Emaj7 
 He sat up with his address book 
 A                    B6 
 trying to think what mood___he's in 
     Emaj7 
 his finger traced past Georgie's name 
    A                  C#m       Bmaj7   
 to someone who needed less persua__ding 
    C#m        Emaj7/B        A      E 
 He did__n't hear__through her__disguise__ 
    Amaj7            E    B 
 he didn't leave her in a rush 
      E6                                 A 
 just like the pro__mise that he left on her__machine 
      E        B         A 
 that al__most made__her blush 
                   E       B 
 the radio plays a lover's symphony__ 
A                    E/B              
 the number you have dialed has been re-directed 
A                        E 
 now she puts him on the speaker-phone___ 
     C6                Em      Dmaj7 
 whene__ver__she__has__com___pany___ 


F#m 
 Well heaven knows what fi___lls the heart 
G                   Bm 
 and makes you feel so___alive
