Intro
D#m7 F#m7 (3x)
D#m7 F#m7 Gm7
[Verse]
G#m7 A#m7
I saw her once before
Amaj7 Bmaj7
She didn't turn me on
Fbmaj7 G#m7
One night she stopped to talk
D#sus2 D#m
To pass the time
G#m7 A#m7
And then I saw her eyes
Amaj7 Bmaj7
Her softly smiling glow
Fbmaj7 G#m7 D#sus2 D#m
We sat and talked all night at Byblos
[Chorus]
F#maj7
She talked of feelings
Bmaj7
That I knew were true
G#m7
She painted me a picture
Fm7 A#sus2
Using every shade of blue
D#m7 Bmaj7
It was light with laughter
F#maj7 G#m7
At times it made me cry
Fbmaj7 Amaj7 Fm7 A#sus2 D#m7 F#m7
And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her
D#m7 F#m7
To squeeze her
D#m7 F#m7 D#m7 F#m7 Gm7
To kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her
[Verse]
G#m7 A#m7
Then, soon she had to go
Amaj7 Bmaj7
I sat there all alone
Fbmaj7 G#m7
And thought of things she said
D#sus2 D#m
The whole day through
G#m7 A#m7
And then I realized
Amaj7 Bmaj7
I never took the time
Fbmaj7 G#m7
To find out where she lived
D#sus2 D#m
Or where to call
[Chorus]
F#maj7 Bmaj7
I thought that I would see her the next night
G#m7 Fm7 A#sus2
Anticipating how I'd set myself right
D#m7 Bmaj7
Then, I went back to Byblos
F#maj7 G#m7
I sat there and waited
Fbmaj7 Amaj7
Feeling just a little nervous
Fm7 A#sus2
And a little frustrated
D#m7 F#m7
Then, soon, in she came
D#m7 F#m7
Looking just the same
D#m7 F#m7
Ooh, I could hardly wait to take her
D#m7 F#m7
Far from the game
[Instrumental]
G#m7 A#m7 Amaj7 Bmaj7
Fbmaj7 G#m7 D#sus2 D#m
D#sus2 D#m D# D#sus2 D#m D#sus4
[Bridge]
Amaj7 Dmaj7
Then a person came in to the club
Amaj7 Dmaj7
That I had to speak to
Amaj7 Dmaj7
I explained the situation to her
Amaj7 Dmaj7
And I thought she understood
Amaj7
But I guess she thought
Dmaj7
I was jiving her around
Amaj7
Because when I looked for her
Dmaj7 Fbmaj7
This is what I found
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Fbmaj7
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Fbmaj7
He was happening, I guess it was his time
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
I really couldn't blame him
Gmaj7 Fbmaj7
Because he was sad and lonely too
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
But just talking to her did me so much good
Gmaj7
I knew she'd do him good too
[Chorus]
F#maj7 Bmaj7
Then I went home and I got it on
G#m7
Sat down to write these words
Fm7 A#sus2
When I was finally alone
D#m7 Bmaj7
And then, about halfway through
F#maj7 G#m7
I wondered if someone knew
Fbmaj7 Amaj7
Where she was so I could give her a call
Fm7 A#sus2
And I found out that she was right down the hall
[Instrumental]
D#m7 F#m7 (2x)
D#m7 F#m7 D#m7 F#m7 Gm7
Not too far away
[Verse]
G#m7 A#m7
But that's ok
Amaj7 Bmaj7
I'll just wait for the day
Fbmaj7 G#m7
When I can see her again
D#sus2 D#m
And spend some time
[Ending]
D#sus2 D#m (9x)
