Intro
F#m7 Am7 (3x)
F#m7 Am7 A#m7
[Verse]
Bm7 C#m7
I saw her once before
Cmaj7 Dmaj7
She didn't turn me on
Gmaj7 Bm7
One night she stopped to talk
F#sus2 F#m
To pass the time
Bm7 C#m7
And then I saw her eyes
Cmaj7 Dmaj7
Her softly smiling glow
Gmaj7 Bm7 F#sus2 F#m
We sat and talked all night at Byblos
[Chorus]
Amaj7
She talked of feelings
Dmaj7
That I knew were true
Bm7
She painted me a picture
G#m7 C#sus2
Using every shade of blue
F#m7 Dmaj7
It was light with laughter
Amaj7 Bm7
At times it made me cry
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 G#m7 C#sus2 F#m7 Am7
And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her
F#m7 Am7
To squeeze her
F#m7 Am7 F#m7 Am7 A#m7
To kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her
[Verse]
Bm7 C#m7
Then, soon she had to go
Cmaj7 Dmaj7
I sat there all alone
Gmaj7 Bm7
And thought of things she said
F#sus2 F#m
The whole day through
Bm7 C#m7
And then I realized
Cmaj7 Dmaj7
I never took the time
Gmaj7 Bm7
To find out where she lived
F#sus2 F#m
Or where to call
[Chorus]
Amaj7 Dmaj7
I thought that I would see her the next night
Bm7 G#m7 C#sus2
Anticipating how I'd set myself right
F#m7 Dmaj7
Then, I went back to Byblos
Amaj7 Bm7
I sat there and waited
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
Feeling just a little nervous
G#m7 C#sus2
And a little frustrated
F#m7 Am7
Then, soon, in she came
F#m7 Am7
Looking just the same
F#m7 Am7
Ooh, I could hardly wait to take her
F#m7 Am7
Far from the game
[Instrumental]
Bm7 C#m7 Cmaj7 Dmaj7
Gmaj7 Bm7 F#sus2 F#m
F#sus2 F#m F# F#sus2 F#m F#sus4
[Bridge]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Then a person came in to the club
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
That I had to speak to
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I explained the situation to her
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
And I thought she understood
Cmaj7
But I guess she thought
Fmaj7
I was jiving her around
Cmaj7
Because when I looked for her
Fmaj7 Gmaj7
This is what I found
G#maj7 Ebmaj7 A#maj7 Gmaj7
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine
G#maj7 Ebmaj7 A#maj7 Gmaj7
He was happening, I guess it was his time
G#maj7 Ebmaj7
I really couldn't blame him
A#maj7 Gmaj7
Because he was sad and lonely too
G#maj7 Ebmaj7
But just talking to her did me so much good
A#maj7
I knew she'd do him good too
[Chorus]
Amaj7 Dmaj7
Then I went home and I got it on
Bm7
Sat down to write these words
G#m7 C#sus2
When I was finally alone
F#m7 Dmaj7
And then, about halfway through
Amaj7 Bm7
I wondered if someone knew
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
Where she was so I could give her a call
G#m7 C#sus2
And I found out that she was right down the hall
[Instrumental]
F#m7 Am7 (2x)
F#m7 Am7 F#m7 Am7 A#m7
Not too far away
[Verse]
Bm7 C#m7
But that's ok
Cmaj7 Dmaj7
I'll just wait for the day
Gmaj7 Bm7
When I can see her again
F#sus2 F#m
And spend some time
[Ending]
F#sus2 F#m (9x)
