Intro
G#m7 Bm7 (3x)
G#m7 Bm7 Cm7
[Verse]
C#m7 D#m7
I saw her once before
Dmaj7 Emaj7
She didn't turn me on
Amaj7 C#m7
One night she stopped to talk
G#sus2 G#m
To pass the time
C#m7 D#m7
And then I saw her eyes
Dmaj7 Emaj7
Her softly smiling glow
Amaj7 C#m7 G#sus2 G#m
We sat and talked all night at Byblos
[Chorus]
Bmaj7
She talked of feelings
Emaj7
That I knew were true
C#m7
She painted me a picture
A#m7 D#sus2
Using every shade of blue
G#m7 Emaj7
It was light with laughter
Bmaj7 C#m7
At times it made me cry
Amaj7 Dmaj7 A#m7 D#sus2 G#m7 Bm7
And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her
G#m7 Bm7
To squeeze her
G#m7 Bm7 G#m7 Bm7 Cm7
To kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her
[Verse]
C#m7 D#m7
Then, soon she had to go
Dmaj7 Emaj7
I sat there all alone
Amaj7 C#m7
And thought of things she said
G#sus2 G#m
The whole day through
C#m7 D#m7
And then I realized
Dmaj7 Emaj7
I never took the time
Amaj7 C#m7
To find out where she lived
G#sus2 G#m
Or where to call
[Chorus]
Bmaj7 Emaj7
I thought that I would see her the next night
C#m7 A#m7 D#sus2
Anticipating how I'd set myself right
G#m7 Emaj7
Then, I went back to Byblos
Bmaj7 C#m7
I sat there and waited
Amaj7 Dmaj7
Feeling just a little nervous
A#m7 D#sus2
And a little frustrated
G#m7 Bm7
Then, soon, in she came
G#m7 Bm7
Looking just the same
G#m7 Bm7
Ooh, I could hardly wait to take her
G#m7 Bm7
Far from the game
[Instrumental]
C#m7 D#m7 Dmaj7 Emaj7
Amaj7 C#m7 G#sus2 G#m
G#sus2 G#m G# G#sus2 G#m G#sus4
[Bridge]
Dmaj7 Gmaj7
Then a person came in to the club
Dmaj7 Gmaj7
That I had to speak to
Dmaj7 Gmaj7
I explained the situation to her
Dmaj7 Gmaj7
And I thought she understood
Dmaj7
But I guess she thought
Gmaj7
I was jiving her around
Dmaj7
Because when I looked for her
Gmaj7 Amaj7
This is what I found
A#maj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Amaj7
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine
A#maj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Amaj7
He was happening, I guess it was his time
A#maj7 Fmaj7
I really couldn't blame him
Cmaj7 Amaj7
Because he was sad and lonely too
A#maj7 Fmaj7
But just talking to her did me so much good
Cmaj7
I knew she'd do him good too
[Chorus]
Bmaj7 Emaj7
Then I went home and I got it on
C#m7
Sat down to write these words
A#m7 D#sus2
When I was finally alone
G#m7 Emaj7
And then, about halfway through
Bmaj7 C#m7
I wondered if someone knew
Amaj7 Dmaj7
Where she was so I could give her a call
A#m7 D#sus2
And I found out that she was right down the hall
[Instrumental]
G#m7 Bm7 (2x)
G#m7 Bm7 G#m7 Bm7 Cm7
Not too far away
[Verse]
C#m7 D#m7
But that's ok
Dmaj7 Emaj7
I'll just wait for the day
Amaj7 C#m7
When I can see her again
G#sus2 G#m
And spend some time
[Ending]
G#sus2 G#m (9x)
