Intro
A#m7 C#m7 (3x)
A#m7 C#m7 Dm7
[Verse]
D#m7 Fm7
I saw her once before
Fbmaj7 F#maj7
She didn't turn me on
Cbmaj7 D#m7
One night she stopped to talk
A#sus2 A#m
To pass the time
D#m7 Fm7
And then I saw her eyes
Fbmaj7 F#maj7
Her softly smiling glow
Cbmaj7 D#m7 A#sus2 A#m
We sat and talked all night at Byblos
[Chorus]
C#maj7
She talked of feelings
F#maj7
That I knew were true
D#m7
She painted me a picture
Cm7 Fsus2
Using every shade of blue
A#m7 F#maj7
It was light with laughter
C#maj7 D#m7
At times it made me cry
Cbmaj7 Fbmaj7 Cm7 Fsus2 A#m7 C#m7
And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her
A#m7 C#m7
To squeeze her
A#m7 C#m7 A#m7 C#m7 Dm7
To kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her
[Verse]
D#m7 Fm7
Then, soon she had to go
Fbmaj7 F#maj7
I sat there all alone
Cbmaj7 D#m7
And thought of things she said
A#sus2 A#m
The whole day through
D#m7 Fm7
And then I realized
Fbmaj7 F#maj7
I never took the time
Cbmaj7 D#m7
To find out where she lived
A#sus2 A#m
Or where to call
[Chorus]
C#maj7 F#maj7
I thought that I would see her the next night
D#m7 Cm7 Fsus2
Anticipating how I'd set myself right
A#m7 F#maj7
Then, I went back to Byblos
C#maj7 D#m7
I sat there and waited
Cbmaj7 Fbmaj7
Feeling just a little nervous
Cm7 Fsus2
And a little frustrated
A#m7 C#m7
Then, soon, in she came
A#m7 C#m7
Looking just the same
A#m7 C#m7
Ooh, I could hardly wait to take her
A#m7 C#m7
Far from the game
[Instrumental]
D#m7 Fm7 Fbmaj7 F#maj7
Cbmaj7 D#m7 A#sus2 A#m
A#sus2 A#m A# A#sus2 A#m A#sus4
[Bridge]
Fbmaj7 Amaj7
Then a person came in to the club
Fbmaj7 Amaj7
That I had to speak to
Fbmaj7 Amaj7
I explained the situation to her
Fbmaj7 Amaj7
And I thought she understood
Fbmaj7
But I guess she thought
Amaj7
I was jiving her around
Fbmaj7
Because when I looked for her
Amaj7 Cbmaj7
This is what I found
Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Dmaj7 Cbmaj7
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine
Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Dmaj7 Cbmaj7
He was happening, I guess it was his time
Cmaj7 Gmaj7
I really couldn't blame him
Dmaj7 Cbmaj7
Because he was sad and lonely too
Cmaj7 Gmaj7
But just talking to her did me so much good
Dmaj7
I knew she'd do him good too
[Chorus]
C#maj7 F#maj7
Then I went home and I got it on
D#m7
Sat down to write these words
Cm7 Fsus2
When I was finally alone
A#m7 F#maj7
And then, about halfway through
C#maj7 D#m7
I wondered if someone knew
Cbmaj7 Fbmaj7
Where she was so I could give her a call
Cm7 Fsus2
And I found out that she was right down the hall
[Instrumental]
A#m7 C#m7 (2x)
A#m7 C#m7 A#m7 C#m7 Dm7
Not too far away
[Verse]
D#m7 Fm7
But that's ok
Fbmaj7 F#maj7
I'll just wait for the day
Cbmaj7 D#m7
When I can see her again
A#sus2 A#m
And spend some time
[Ending]
A#sus2 A#m (9x)
