[Verse]
A#m7 Cm7
I saw her once before
Cbmaj7 C#maj7
She didn't turn me on
Gbmaj7 A#m7
One night she stopped to talk
Fsus2 Fm
To pass the time
A#m7 Cm7
And then I saw her eyes
Cbmaj7 C#maj7
Her softly smiling glow
Gbmaj7 A#m7 Fsus2 Fm
We sat and talked all night at Byblos
[Chorus]
G#maj7
She talked of feelings
C#maj7
That I knew were true
A#m7
She painted me a picture
Gm7 Csus2
Using every shade of blue
Fm7 C#maj7
It was light with laughter
G#maj7 A#m7
At times it made me cry
Gbmaj7 Cbmaj7 Gm7 Csus2 Fm7 G#m7
And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her
Fm7 G#m7
To squeeze her
Fm7 G#m7 Fm7 G#m7 Am7
To kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her
[Verse]
A#m7 Cm7
Then, soon she had to go
Cbmaj7 C#maj7
I sat there all alone
Gbmaj7 A#m7
And thought of things she said
Fsus2 Fm
The whole day through
A#m7 Cm7
And then I realized
Cbmaj7 C#maj7
I never took the time
Gbmaj7 A#m7
To find out where she lived
Fsus2 Fm
Or where to call
[Chorus]
G#maj7 C#maj7
I thought that I would see her the next night
A#m7 Gm7 Csus2
Anticipating how I'd set myself right
Fm7 C#maj7
Then, I went back to Byblos
G#maj7 A#m7
I sat there and waited
Gbmaj7 Cbmaj7
Feeling just a little nervous
Gm7 Csus2
And a little frustrated
Fm7 G#m7
Then, soon, in she came
Fm7 G#m7
Looking just the same
Fm7 G#m7
Ooh, I could hardly wait to take her
Fm7 G#m7
Far from the game

Cbmaj7 Fbmaj7
Then a person came in to the club
Cbmaj7 Fbmaj7
That I had to speak to
Cbmaj7 Fbmaj7
I explained the situation to her
Cbmaj7 Fbmaj7
And I thought she understood
Cbmaj7
But I guess she thought
Fbmaj7
I was jiving her around
Cbmaj7
Because when I looked for her
Fbmaj7 Gbmaj7
This is what I found
Gmaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Gbmaj7
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine
Gmaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Gbmaj7
He was happening, I guess it was his time
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
I really couldn't blame him
Amaj7 Gbmaj7
Because he was sad and lonely too
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
But just talking to her did me so much good
Amaj7
I knew she'd do him good too
[Chorus]
G#maj7 C#maj7
Then I went home and I got it on
A#m7
Sat down to write these words
Gm7 Csus2
When I was finally alone
Fm7 C#maj7
And then, about halfway through
G#maj7 A#m7
I wondered if someone knew
Gbmaj7 Cbmaj7
Where she was so I could give her a call
Gm7 Csus2
And I found out that she was right down the hall
[Instrumental]
Fm7 G#m7 (2x)
Fm7 G#m7 Fm7 G#m7 Am7
Not too far away
[Verse]
A#m7 Cm7
But that's ok
Cbmaj7 C#maj7
I'll just wait for the day
Gbmaj7 A#m7
When I can see her again
Fsus2 Fm
And spend some time
[Ending]
