[Intro]
Riff x 4

[Verse]
G#m         E              G#m        E
I watch the sun go down on London town
G#m              E               G#m   E
  I wait for the night voices to sound
 G#m                      E                       G#m   E
I smell the pain upon the breath of the lost & lonely
G#m                      E                        G#m     E
I hear the thoughts that whisper in the hearts of all men


[Chorus]
        G#m              E                      G#m  E
I'm the helpline operator & I'll spare you the time
        G#m              E      G#m               E   G#m
I'm the intimate stranger. Your problems will be mine


[Instrumental]
Riff x 4


[Verse]
G#m      E                G#m
Put your tongue into the mouthpiece
     E
And whisper in my ear
G#m
Admit to me
    E                        G#m
The things you can't admit to yourself
                 E
Admit to me & no one else
G#m                     E
Everybody's looking for someone
    G#m                         E
To tell them what they want to hear
G#m                          E
Everybody's looking for true love
   G#m                      E
To help them feel what they cannot feel


[Chorus]
       G#m               E                       G#m  E
I'm the helpline operator, can you spare me the time
        G#m              E       G#m              E
I'm the intimate stranger. Your problems will be mine
        G#m              E
I'm the helpline operator
G#m              E
Helpline operator.
G#m              E
Helpline operator
G#m             E
Helpline operator
