Lyrics:
E
Woke up this mornin', I was all alone
E
Saw your picture by the telephone
E                       B
I was missin' you oh so bad
E
Wish I had you here to hold
A
All I got is this touch-tone phone
F#m        B                E
So I guess I'll give you a call

E
Operator, help me please
E
Get through to my baby way overseas
E                      B
Time's a-wastin' oh so fast
E
Hello, baby, tell me, is that you?
A
I don't know what we're gonna do
F#m             B                         E
But for now I'm glad I've got you on the line

(Bridge)
        A
Well, it feels so fine
        E
Knowin' you're all right
         F#m                               B  Bm7
But we're miles away - Lord, it's not the same

(solo in Em pentatonic with wah over instrumental verse)

E
Woke up this mornin', I was all alone
E
Saw your picture by the telephone
E                               B
I been missin' you, baby, oh so bad
E
I love you, baby, with all my might
A
Come on home and squeeze me tight
F#m                   B                        E
Long distance love is gonna drive me out of my mind
