Intro
Bm7 Dm7 (3x)
Bm7 Dm7 Ebm7
[Verse]
Em7 F#m7
I saw her once before
Fmaj7 Gmaj7
She didn't turn me on
Cmaj7 Em7
One night she stopped to talk
Bsus2 Bm
To pass the time
Em7 F#m7
And then I saw her eyes
Fmaj7 Gmaj7
Her softly smiling glow
Cmaj7 Em7 Bsus2 Bm
We sat and talked all night at Byblos
[Chorus]
Dmaj7
She talked of feelings
Gmaj7
That I knew were true
Em7
She painted me a picture
C#m7 F#sus2
Using every shade of blue
Bm7 Gmaj7
It was light with laughter
Dmaj7 Em7
At times it made me cry
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 C#m7 F#sus2 Bm7 Dm7
And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her
Bm7 Dm7
To squeeze her
Bm7 Dm7 Bm7 Dm7 Ebm7
To kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her
[Verse]
Em7 F#m7
Then, soon she had to go
Fmaj7 Gmaj7
I sat there all alone
Cmaj7 Em7
And thought of things she said
Bsus2 Bm
The whole day through
Em7 F#m7
And then I realized
Fmaj7 Gmaj7
I never took the time
Cmaj7 Em7
To find out where she lived
Bsus2 Bm
Or where to call
[Chorus]
Dmaj7 Gmaj7
I thought that I would see her the next night
Em7 C#m7 F#sus2
Anticipating how I'd set myself right
Bm7 Gmaj7
Then, I went back to Byblos
Dmaj7 Em7
I sat there and waited
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Feeling just a little nervous
C#m7 F#sus2
And a little frustrated
Bm7 Dm7
Then, soon, in she came
Bm7 Dm7
Looking just the same
Bm7 Dm7
Ooh, I could hardly wait to take her
Bm7 Dm7
Far from the game
[Instrumental]
Em7 F#m7 Fmaj7 Gmaj7
Cmaj7 Em7 Bsus2 Bm
Bsus2 Bm B Bsus2 Bm Bsus4
[Bridge]
Fmaj7 A#maj7
Then a person came in to the club
Fmaj7 A#maj7
That I had to speak to
Fmaj7 A#maj7
I explained the situation to her
Fmaj7 A#maj7
And I thought she understood
Fmaj7
But I guess she thought
A#maj7
I was jiving her around
Fmaj7
Because when I looked for her
A#maj7 Cmaj7
This is what I found
C#maj7 Abmaj7 Ebmaj7 Cmaj7
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine
C#maj7 Abmaj7 Ebmaj7 Cmaj7
He was happening, I guess it was his time
C#maj7 Abmaj7
I really couldn't blame him
Ebmaj7 Cmaj7
Because he was sad and lonely too
C#maj7 Abmaj7
But just talking to her did me so much good
Ebmaj7
I knew she'd do him good too
[Chorus]
Dmaj7 Gmaj7
Then I went home and I got it on
Em7
Sat down to write these words
C#m7 F#sus2
When I was finally alone
Bm7 Gmaj7
And then, about halfway through
Dmaj7 Em7
I wondered if someone knew
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Where she was so I could give her a call
C#m7 F#sus2
And I found out that she was right down the hall
[Instrumental]
Bm7 Dm7 (2x)
Bm7 Dm7 Bm7 Dm7 Ebm7
Not too far away
[Verse]
Em7 F#m7
But that's ok
Fmaj7 Gmaj7
I'll just wait for the day
Cmaj7 Em7
When I can see her again
Bsus2 Bm
And spend some time
[Ending]
Bsus2 Bm (9x)
