[Verse]
Dm7 Em7
I saw her once before
Ebmaj7 Fmaj7
She didn't turn me on
A#maj7 Dm7
One night she stopped to talk
Asus2 Am
To pass the time
Dm7 Em7
And then I saw her eyes
Ebmaj7 Fmaj7
Her softly smiling glow
A#maj7 Dm7 Asus2 Am
We sat and talked all night at Byblos
[Chorus]
Cmaj7
She talked of feelings
Fmaj7
That I knew were true
Dm7
She painted me a picture
Bm7 Esus2
Using every shade of blue
Am7 Fmaj7
It was light with laughter
Cmaj7 Dm7
At times it made me cry
A#maj7 Ebmaj7 Bm7 Esus2 Am7 Cm7
And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her
Am7 Cm7
To squeeze her
Am7 Cm7 Am7 Cm7 Dbm7
To kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her
[Verse]
Dm7 Em7
Then, soon she had to go
Ebmaj7 Fmaj7
I sat there all alone
A#maj7 Dm7
And thought of things she said
Asus2 Am
The whole day through
Dm7 Em7
And then I realized
Ebmaj7 Fmaj7
I never took the time
A#maj7 Dm7
To find out where she lived
Asus2 Am
Or where to call
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I thought that I would see her the next night
Dm7 Bm7 Esus2
Anticipating how I'd set myself right
Am7 Fmaj7
Then, I went back to Byblos
Cmaj7 Dm7
I sat there and waited
A#maj7 Ebmaj7
Feeling just a little nervous
Bm7 Esus2
And a little frustrated
Am7 Cm7
Then, soon, in she came
Am7 Cm7
Looking just the same
Am7 Cm7
Ooh, I could hardly wait to take her
Am7 Cm7
Far from the game
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Ebmaj7 Abmaj7
Then a person came in to the club
Ebmaj7 Abmaj7
That I had to speak to
Ebmaj7 Abmaj7
I explained the situation to her
Ebmaj7 Abmaj7
And I thought she understood
Ebmaj7
But I guess she thought
Abmaj7
I was jiving her around
Ebmaj7
Because when I looked for her
Abmaj7 A#maj7
This is what I found
Bmaj7 Gbmaj7 Dbmaj7 A#maj7
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine
Bmaj7 Gbmaj7 Dbmaj7 A#maj7
He was happening, I guess it was his time
Bmaj7 Gbmaj7
I really couldn't blame him
Dbmaj7 A#maj7
Because he was sad and lonely too
Bmaj7 Gbmaj7
But just talking to her did me so much good
Dbmaj7
I knew she'd do him good too
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Then I went home and I got it on
Dm7
Sat down to write these words
Bm7 Esus2
When I was finally alone
Am7 Fmaj7
And then, about halfway through
Cmaj7 Dm7
I wondered if someone knew
A#maj7 Ebmaj7
Where she was so I could give her a call
Bm7 Esus2
And I found out that she was right down the hall
[Instrumental]
Am7 Cm7 (2x)
Am7 Cm7 Am7 Cm7 Dbm7
Not too far away
[Verse]
Dm7 Em7
But that's ok
Ebmaj7 Fmaj7
I'll just wait for the day
A#maj7 Dm7
When I can see her again
Asus2 Am
And spend some time
[Ending]
Asus2 Am (9x)
