CFGmaj7 G
Georgie grew to hate her name
C D
It sounded
like a tiny man
Gmaj7 G
And the one she had said "I Can't see you
C G D/Fis C/E
But I'll call you, whenever I can!
G
Sometimes the phone would ring,
C
When
she was half asleep
G
A voice would drag her down
D C
With its suggestions
G
Though she
often felt cheated,
Eb F
She never felt cheap
Am
Well heaven
know what fills the heart
Bb Dm
And makes you feel so alive
C Em
It's impossible to tear apart
EF
Georgie and her rival
Gmaj7 G
It was half-past february
C D
And he hadn't called since New Year's day
Gmaj7 G
Maybe
he'd found another woman
C C/Eis
To say
those word no chapel girl should say
G
Her mother would
phone
D C
And always keep her talking
G
She'd try to be polite
D C
Making faces
G
But somewhere in the back of her mind
Eb F
Her rival was
stalking
Am
Well heaven know what fills the heart
BDm
And makes you feel so alive
C Em
It's impossible to tear
apart
Eb F
Georgie and her rival
Bm G
Her
rival would always wait
Em F#
'Til the eighth or
nineth bell
Bm G
He'd be desperate anyway and
C/E
Drunk
as well
Dm Gm6
She always like to
hurt him to prove he was prepared
Dm Dm6
To love
her anyway that she wanted
Dm6/G Fb
So she could
tell - which she preferred
Gmaj7 G
He sat up with his adressbook
C D
Trying to think what mood he's in
Gmaj7 G
His finger
traced past Georgie's name
C D
To someone who
needed less persuading
C G
He didn't hear
through her disguise
C G D
He didn't leave her in a
rush
C D G
Just like the promise that he left
C G D C
On her machine that always made her
blush
G C
The radio plays a lover's
symphony
C
"The number you
have dialed has been re-directed"
G
Now she puts
him on the speaker-phone
Eb F
Whenever she has company
Am
Well heaven know what fills the heart
Bb Dm
And makes
you feel so alive
C Em
It's impossible to tear apart
Eb F
Georgie and her rival
