C#m7 Em7 Fm7
[Verse]
F#m7 G#m7
I saw her once before
Gmaj7 Amaj7
She didn't turn me on
Dmaj7 F#m7
One night she stopped to talk
C#sus2 C#m
To pass the time
F#m7 G#m7
And then I saw her eyes
Gmaj7 Amaj7
Her softly smiling glow
Dmaj7 F#m7 C#sus2 C#m
We sat and talked all night at Byblos
[Chorus]
Emaj7
She talked of feelings
Amaj7
That I knew were true
F#m7
She painted me a picture
D#m7 G#sus2
Using every shade of blue
C#m7 Amaj7
It was light with laughter
Emaj7 F#m7
At times it made me cry
Dmaj7 Gmaj7 D#m7 G#sus2 C#m7 Em7
And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her
C#m7 Em7
To squeeze her
C#m7 Em7 C#m7 Em7 Fm7
To kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her
[Verse]
F#m7 G#m7
Then, soon she had to go
Gmaj7 Amaj7
I sat there all alone
Dmaj7 F#m7
And thought of things she said
C#sus2 C#m
The whole day through
F#m7 G#m7
And then I realized
Gmaj7 Amaj7
I never took the time
Dmaj7 F#m7
To find out where she lived
C#sus2 C#m
Or where to call
[Chorus]
Emaj7 Amaj7
I thought that I would see her the next night
F#m7 D#m7 G#sus2
Anticipating how I'd set myself right
C#m7 Amaj7
Then, I went back to Byblos
Emaj7 F#m7
I sat there and waited
Dmaj7 Gmaj7
Feeling just a little nervous
D#m7 G#sus2
And a little frustrated
C#m7 Em7
Then, soon, in she came
C#m7 Em7
Looking just the same
C#m7 Em7
Ooh, I could hardly wait to take her
C#m7 Em7
Far from the game
[Instrumental]
F#m7 G#m7 Gmaj7 Amaj7
Dmaj7 F#m7 C#sus2 C#m
C#sus2 C#m C# C#sus2 C#m C#sus4
[Bridge]
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
Then a person came in to the club
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
That I had to speak to
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
I explained the situation to her
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
And I thought she understood
Gmaj7
But I guess she thought
Cmaj7
I was jiving her around
Gmaj7
Because when I looked for her
Cmaj7 Dmaj7
This is what I found
D#maj7 A#maj7 Fmaj7 Dmaj7
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine
D#maj7 A#maj7 Fmaj7 Dmaj7
He was happening, I guess it was his time
D#maj7 A#maj7
I really couldn't blame him
Fmaj7 Dmaj7
Because he was sad and lonely too
D#maj7 A#maj7
But just talking to her did me so much good
Fmaj7
I knew she'd do him good too
[Chorus]
Emaj7 Amaj7
Then I went home and I got it on
F#m7
Sat down to write these words
D#m7 G#sus2
When I was finally alone
C#m7 Amaj7
And then, about halfway through
Emaj7 F#m7
I wondered if someone knew
Dmaj7 Gmaj7
Where she was so I could give her a call
D#m7 G#sus2
And I found out that she was right down the hall
[Instrumental]
C#m7 Em7 (2x)
C#m7 Em7 C#m7 Em7 Fm7
Not too far away
[Verse]
F#m7 G#m7
But that's ok
Gmaj7 Amaj7
I'll just wait for the day
Dmaj7 F#m7
When I can see her again
C#sus2 C#m
And spend some time
[Ending]
C#sus2 C#m (9x)
