Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Operator please connect me with nineteen eighty two

I need to make apologies for what I ___ didn't do

I sure do need to tell her that I've thought the whole thing through

And now it's clear that she is what I should have held on to

Chorus

They say hind sights twenty, twenty

But I'm nearly going blind

From staring at her photograph

And wishing she was mine

It's that same ole lost love story

It's sad, but it's true

There was a time when she was mine

In nineteen eighty two

Postman can you sell me a special kind of stamp

One to send a letter from this crazy, lonely man

Back into the wasted years of my living past

I need to tell her now I know how long my love will last

repeat chorus:

Losing my mind going back in time

Two nineteen eighty two
