Intro
Dm7 Fm7 (3x)
Dm7 Fm7 Gbm7
[Verse]
Gm7 Am7
I saw her once before
Abmaj7 A#maj7
She didn't turn me on
Ebmaj7 Gm7
One night she stopped to talk
Dsus2 Dm
To pass the time
Gm7 Am7
And then I saw her eyes
Abmaj7 A#maj7
Her softly smiling glow
Ebmaj7 Gm7 Dsus2 Dm
We sat and talked all night at Byblos
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
She talked of feelings
A#maj7
That I knew were true
Gm7
She painted me a picture
Em7 Asus2
Using every shade of blue
Dm7 A#maj7
It was light with laughter
Fmaj7 Gm7
At times it made me cry
Ebmaj7 Abmaj7 Em7 Asus2 Dm7 Fm7
And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her
Dm7 Fm7
To squeeze her
Dm7 Fm7 Dm7 Fm7 Gbm7
To kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her
[Verse]
Gm7 Am7
Then, soon she had to go
Abmaj7 A#maj7
I sat there all alone
Ebmaj7 Gm7
And thought of things she said
Dsus2 Dm
The whole day through
Gm7 Am7
And then I realized
Abmaj7 A#maj7
I never took the time
Ebmaj7 Gm7
To find out where she lived
Dsus2 Dm
Or where to call
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 A#maj7
I thought that I would see her the next night
Gm7 Em7 Asus2
Anticipating how I'd set myself right
Dm7 A#maj7
Then, I went back to Byblos
Fmaj7 Gm7
I sat there and waited
Ebmaj7 Abmaj7
Feeling just a little nervous
Em7 Asus2
And a little frustrated
Dm7 Fm7
Then, soon, in she came
Dm7 Fm7
Looking just the same
Dm7 Fm7
Ooh, I could hardly wait to take her
Dm7 Fm7
Far from the game
[Instrumental]
Gm7 Am7 Abmaj7 A#maj7
Ebmaj7 Gm7 Dsus2 Dm
Dsus2 Dm D Dsus2 Dm Dsus4
[Bridge]
Abmaj7 Dbmaj7
Then a person came in to the club
Abmaj7 Dbmaj7
That I had to speak to
Abmaj7 Dbmaj7
I explained the situation to her
Abmaj7 Dbmaj7
And I thought she understood
Abmaj7
But I guess she thought
Dbmaj7
I was jiving her around
Abmaj7
Because when I looked for her
Dbmaj7 Ebmaj7
This is what I found
Emaj7 Cbmaj7 Gbmaj7 Ebmaj7
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine
Emaj7 Cbmaj7 Gbmaj7 Ebmaj7
He was happening, I guess it was his time
Emaj7 Cbmaj7
I really couldn't blame him
Gbmaj7 Ebmaj7
Because he was sad and lonely too
Emaj7 Cbmaj7
But just talking to her did me so much good
Gbmaj7
I knew she'd do him good too
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 A#maj7
Then I went home and I got it on
Gm7
Sat down to write these words
Em7 Asus2
When I was finally alone
Dm7 A#maj7
And then, about halfway through
Fmaj7 Gm7
I wondered if someone knew
Ebmaj7 Abmaj7
Where she was so I could give her a call
Em7 Asus2
And I found out that she was right down the hall
[Instrumental]
Dm7 Fm7 (2x)
Dm7 Fm7 Dm7 Fm7 Gbm7
Not too far away
[Verse]
Gm7 Am7
But that's ok
Abmaj7 A#maj7
I'll just wait for the day
Ebmaj7 Gm7
When I can see her again
Dsus2 Dm
And spend some time
[Ending]
Dsus2 Dm (9x)
