Intro:
Am7 Cm7 (3x)
Am7 Cm7 Dbm7

Verse:
Dm7    Em7
I saw her once before
Ebmaj7   Fmaj7
She didn't turn me on
Bbmaj7    Dm7
One night she stopped to talk
 Asus2 Am
To pass the time
Dm7    Em7
And then I saw her eyes
Ebmaj7   Fmaj7
Her softly smiling glow
Bbmaj7   Dm7         Asus2 Am
We sat and talked all night at Byblos

Chorus:
Cmaj7
She talked of feelings
    Fmaj7
That I knew were true
Dm7
She painted me a picture
      Bm7     Esus2
Using every shade of blue
Am7        Fmaj7
It was light with laughter
  Cmaj7      Dm7
At times it made me cry
Bbmaj7    Ebmaj7     Bm7     Esus2    Am7   Cm7
And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her
  Am7    Cm7
To squeeze her
Am7     Cm7        Am7      Cm7    Dbm7
To kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her

Verse:
Dm7      Em7
Then, soon she had to go
Ebmaj7   Fmaj7
I sat there all alone
Bbmaj7     Dm7
And thought of things she said
  Asus2 Am
The whole day through
Dm7    Em7
And then I realized
Ebmaj7 Fmaj7
I never took the time
Bbmaj7   Dm7
To find out where she lived
 Asus2 Am
Or where to call

Chorus:
Cmaj7             Fmaj7
I thought that I would see her the next night
Dm7         Bm7     Esus2
Anticipating how I'd set myself right
Am7         Fmaj7
Then, I went back to Byblos
Cmaj7      Dm7
I sat there and waited
Bbmaj7     Ebmaj7
Feeling just a little nervous
   Bm7    Esus2
And a little frustrated
Am7  Cm7
Then, soon, in she came
Am7   Cm7
Looking just the same
Am7      Cm7
Ooh, I could hardly wait to take her
Am7     Cm7
Far from the game

Instrumental:
Dm7 Em7 Ebmaj7 Fmaj7
Bbmaj7 Dm7 Asus2 Am
Asus2 Am A Asus2 Am Asus4

Bridge:
Ebmaj7        Abmaj7
Then a person came in to the club
Ebmaj7    Abmaj7
That I had to speak to
Ebmaj7          Abmaj7
I explained the situation to her
Ebmaj7         Abmaj7
And I thought she understood
Ebmaj7
But I guess she thought
   Abmaj7
I was jiving her around
Ebmaj7
Because when I looked for her
Abmaj7        Bbmaj7
This is what I found
Bmaj7  Gbmaj7    Dbmaj7          Bbmaj7
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine
Bmaj7  Gbmaj7  Dbmaj7         Bbmaj7
He was happening, I guess it was his time
Bmaj7       Gbmaj7
I really couldn't blame him
      Dbmaj7         Bbmaj7
Because he was sad and lonely too
  Bmaj7        Gbmaj7
But just talking to her did me so much good
 Dbmaj7
I knew she'd do him good too

Chorus:
Cmaj7         Fmaj7
Then I went home and I got it on
Dm7
Sat down to write these words
  Bm7       Esus2
When I was finally alone
Am7       Fmaj7
And then, about halfway through
Cmaj7         Dm7
I wondered if someone knew
Bbmaj7          Ebmaj7
Where she was so I could give her a call
   Bm7          Esus2
And I found out that she was right down the hall

Instrumental:
Am7 Cm7 (2x)
Am7   Cm7   Am7 Cm7 Dbm7
Not too far away

Verse:
Dm7    Em7
But that's ok
Ebmaj7     Fmaj7
I'll just wait for the day
Bbmaj7   Dm7
When I can see her again
  Asus2 Am
And spend some time

Ending:
Asus2 Am (9x)
Asus2
