Intro
Gm7 A#m7 (3x)
Gm7 A#m7 Cbm7
[Verse]
Cm7 Dm7
I saw her once before
Dbmaj7 D#maj7
She didn't turn me on
Abmaj7 Cm7
One night she stopped to talk
Gsus2 Gm
To pass the time
Cm7 Dm7
And then I saw her eyes
Dbmaj7 D#maj7
Her softly smiling glow
Abmaj7 Cm7 Gsus2 Gm
We sat and talked all night at Byblos
[Chorus]
A#maj7
She talked of feelings
D#maj7
That I knew were true
Cm7
She painted me a picture
Am7 Dsus2
Using every shade of blue
Gm7 D#maj7
It was light with laughter
A#maj7 Cm7
At times it made me cry
Abmaj7 Dbmaj7 Am7 Dsus2 Gm7 A#m7
And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her
Gm7 A#m7
To squeeze her
Gm7 A#m7 Gm7 A#m7 Cbm7
To kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her
[Verse]
Cm7 Dm7
Then, soon she had to go
Dbmaj7 D#maj7
I sat there all alone
Abmaj7 Cm7
And thought of things she said
Gsus2 Gm
The whole day through
Cm7 Dm7
And then I realized
Dbmaj7 D#maj7
I never took the time
Abmaj7 Cm7
To find out where she lived
Gsus2 Gm
Or where to call
[Chorus]
A#maj7 D#maj7
I thought that I would see her the next night
Cm7 Am7 Dsus2
Anticipating how I'd set myself right
Gm7 D#maj7
Then, I went back to Byblos
A#maj7 Cm7
I sat there and waited
Abmaj7 Dbmaj7
Feeling just a little nervous
Am7 Dsus2
And a little frustrated
Gm7 A#m7
Then, soon, in she came
Gm7 A#m7
Looking just the same
Gm7 A#m7
Ooh, I could hardly wait to take her
Gm7 A#m7
Far from the game
[Instrumental]
Cm7 Dm7 Dbmaj7 D#maj7
Abmaj7 Cm7 Gsus2 Gm
Gsus2 Gm G Gsus2 Gm Gsus4
[Bridge]
Dbmaj7 Gbmaj7
Then a person came in to the club
Dbmaj7 Gbmaj7
That I had to speak to
Dbmaj7 Gbmaj7
I explained the situation to her
Dbmaj7 Gbmaj7
And I thought she understood
Dbmaj7
But I guess she thought
Gbmaj7
I was jiving her around
Dbmaj7
Because when I looked for her
Gbmaj7 Abmaj7
This is what I found
Amaj7 Fbmaj7 Cbmaj7 Abmaj7
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine
Amaj7 Fbmaj7 Cbmaj7 Abmaj7
He was happening, I guess it was his time
Amaj7 Fbmaj7
I really couldn't blame him
Cbmaj7 Abmaj7
Because he was sad and lonely too
Amaj7 Fbmaj7
But just talking to her did me so much good
Cbmaj7
I knew she'd do him good too
[Chorus]
A#maj7 D#maj7
Then I went home and I got it on
Cm7
Sat down to write these words
Am7 Dsus2
When I was finally alone
Gm7 D#maj7
And then, about halfway through
A#maj7 Cm7
I wondered if someone knew
Abmaj7 Dbmaj7
Where she was so I could give her a call
Am7 Dsus2
And I found out that she was right down the hall
[Instrumental]
Gm7 A#m7 (2x)
Gm7 A#m7 Gm7 A#m7 Cbm7
Not too far away
[Verse]
Cm7 Dm7
But that's ok
Dbmaj7 D#maj7
I'll just wait for the day
Abmaj7 Cm7
When I can see her again
Gsus2 Gm
And spend some time
[Ending]
Gsus2 Gm (9x)
