Am7Am7 Cm7Cm7 Dbm7Dbm7

Verse:
Dm7Dm7    E minor 7Em7
I saw her once before
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7   Fmaj7Fmaj7
She didn't turn me on
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7    Dm7Dm7
One night she stopped to talk
 Asus2Asus2 A minorAm
To pass the time
Dm7Dm7    E minor 7Em7
And then I saw her eyes
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7   Fmaj7Fmaj7
Her softly smiling glow
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7   Dm7Dm7         Asus2Asus2 A minorAm
We sat and talked all night at Byblos

Chorus:
Cmaj7Cmaj7
She talked of feelings
    Fmaj7Fmaj7
That I knew were true
Dm7Dm7
She painted me a picture
      Bm7Bm7     Esus2Esus2
Using every shade of blue
Am7Am7        Fmaj7Fmaj7
It was light with laughter
  Cmaj7Cmaj7      Dm7Dm7
At times it made me cry
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7    Ebmaj7Ebmaj7     Bm7Bm7     Esus2Esus2    Am7Am7   Cm7Cm7
And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her
  Am7Am7    Cm7Cm7
To squeeze her
Am7Am7     Cm7Cm7        Am7Am7      Cm7Cm7    Dbm7Dbm7
To kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her

Verse:
Dm7Dm7      E minor 7Em7
Then, soon she had to go
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7   Fmaj7Fmaj7
I sat there all alone
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7     Dm7Dm7
And thought of things she said
  Asus2Asus2 A minorAm
The whole day through
Dm7Dm7    E minor 7Em7
And then I realized
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7 Fmaj7Fmaj7
I never took the time
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7   Dm7Dm7
To find out where she lived
 Asus2Asus2 A minorAm
Or where to call

Chorus:
Cmaj7Cmaj7             Fmaj7Fmaj7
I thought that I would see her the next night
Dm7Dm7         Bm7Bm7     Esus2Esus2
Anticipating how I'd set myself right
Am7Am7         Fmaj7Fmaj7
Then, I went back to Byblos
Cmaj7Cmaj7      Dm7Dm7
I sat there and waited
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7     Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
Feeling just a little nervous
   Bm7Bm7    Esus2Esus2
And a little frustrated
Am7Am7  Cm7Cm7
Then, soon, in she came
Am7Am7   Cm7Cm7
Looking just the same
Am7Am7      Cm7Cm7
Ooh, I could hardly wait to take her
Am7Am7     Cm7Cm7
Far from the game

Instrumental:
Dm7Dm7 E minor 7Em7 Ebmaj7Ebmaj7 Fmaj7Fmaj7
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7 Dm7Dm7 Asus2Asus2 A minorAm
Asus2Asus2 A minorAm A augmentedA Asus2Asus2 A minorAm Asus4Asus4

Bridge:
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7        Abmaj7Abmaj7
Then a person came in to the club
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7    Abmaj7Abmaj7
That I had to speak to
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7          Abmaj7Abmaj7
I explained the situation to her
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7         Abmaj7Abmaj7
And I thought she understood
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
But I guess she thought
   Abmaj7Abmaj7
I was jiving her around
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
Because when I looked for her
Abmaj7Abmaj7        Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
This is what I found
BMaj7Bmaj7  Gbmaj7Gbmaj7    Dbmaj7Dbmaj7          Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine
BMaj7Bmaj7  Gbmaj7Gbmaj7  Dbmaj7Dbmaj7         Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
He was happening, I guess it was his time
BMaj7Bmaj7       Gbmaj7Gbmaj7
I really couldn't blame him
      Dbmaj7Dbmaj7         Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
Because he was sad and lonely too
  BMaj7Bmaj7        Gbmaj7Gbmaj7
But just talking to her did me so much good
 Dbmaj7Dbmaj7
I knew she'd do him good too

Chorus:
Cmaj7Cmaj7         Fmaj7Fmaj7
Then I went home and I got it on
Dm7Dm7
Sat down to write these words
  Bm7Bm7       Esus2Esus2
When I was finally alone
Am7Am7       Fmaj7Fmaj7
And then, about halfway through
Cmaj7Cmaj7         Dm7Dm7
I wondered if someone knew
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7          Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
Where she was so I could give her a call
   Bm7Bm7          Esus2Esus2
And I found out that she was right down the hall

Instrumental:
Am7Am7 Cm7Cm7 (2x)
Am7Am7   Cm7Cm7   Am7Am7 Cm7Cm7 Dbm7Dbm7
Not too far away

Verse:
Dm7Dm7    E minor 7Em7
But that's ok
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7     Fmaj7Fmaj7
I'll just wait for the day
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7   Dm7Dm7
When I can see her again
  Asus2Asus2 A minorAm
And spend some time

Ending:
Asus2Asus2 A minorAm (9x)
Asus2Asus2
