Intro
Em7 Gm7 (3x)
Em7 Gm7 Abm7
[Verse]
Am7 Bm7
I saw her once before
A#maj7 Cmaj7
She didn't turn me on
Fmaj7 Am7
One night she stopped to talk
Esus2 Em
To pass the time
Am7 Bm7
And then I saw her eyes
A#maj7 Cmaj7
Her softly smiling glow
Fmaj7 Am7 Esus2 Em
We sat and talked all night at Byblos
[Chorus]
Gmaj7
She talked of feelings
Cmaj7
That I knew were true
Am7
She painted me a picture
F#m7 Bsus2
Using every shade of blue
Em7 Cmaj7
It was light with laughter
Gmaj7 Am7
At times it made me cry
Fmaj7 A#maj7 F#m7 Bsus2 Em7 Gm7
And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her
Em7 Gm7
To squeeze her
Em7 Gm7 Em7 Gm7 Abm7
To kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her
[Verse]
Am7 Bm7
Then, soon she had to go
A#maj7 Cmaj7
I sat there all alone
Fmaj7 Am7
And thought of things she said
Esus2 Em
The whole day through
Am7 Bm7
And then I realized
A#maj7 Cmaj7
I never took the time
Fmaj7 Am7
To find out where she lived
Esus2 Em
Or where to call
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
I thought that I would see her the next night
Am7 F#m7 Bsus2
Anticipating how I'd set myself right
Em7 Cmaj7
Then, I went back to Byblos
Gmaj7 Am7
I sat there and waited
Fmaj7 A#maj7
Feeling just a little nervous
F#m7 Bsus2
And a little frustrated
Em7 Gm7
Then, soon, in she came
Em7 Gm7
Looking just the same
Em7 Gm7
Ooh, I could hardly wait to take her
Em7 Gm7
Far from the game
[Instrumental]
Am7 Bm7 A#maj7 Cmaj7
Fmaj7 Am7 Esus2 Em
Esus2 Em E Esus2 Em Esus4
[Bridge]
A#maj7 Ebmaj7
Then a person came in to the club
A#maj7 Ebmaj7
That I had to speak to
A#maj7 Ebmaj7
I explained the situation to her
A#maj7 Ebmaj7
And I thought she understood
A#maj7
But I guess she thought
Ebmaj7
I was jiving her around
A#maj7
Because when I looked for her
Ebmaj7 Fmaj7
This is what I found
F#maj7 Dbmaj7 Abmaj7 Fmaj7
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine
F#maj7 Dbmaj7 Abmaj7 Fmaj7
He was happening, I guess it was his time
F#maj7 Dbmaj7
I really couldn't blame him
Abmaj7 Fmaj7
Because he was sad and lonely too
F#maj7 Dbmaj7
But just talking to her did me so much good
Abmaj7
I knew she'd do him good too
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
Then I went home and I got it on
Am7
Sat down to write these words
F#m7 Bsus2
When I was finally alone
Em7 Cmaj7
And then, about halfway through
Gmaj7 Am7
I wondered if someone knew
Fmaj7 A#maj7
Where she was so I could give her a call
F#m7 Bsus2
And I found out that she was right down the hall
[Instrumental]
Em7 Gm7 (2x)
Em7 Gm7 Em7 Gm7 Abm7
Not too far away
[Verse]
Am7 Bm7
But that's ok
A#maj7 Cmaj7
I'll just wait for the day
Fmaj7 Am7
When I can see her again
Esus2 Em
And spend some time
[Ending]
Esus2 Em (9x)
