I heard a glass shatter on the wall in the apartment above mine
Fm          Eb                  Cm   Db
At first I thought that I was dreamin'

Sweater zipped up to her chin

"Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you
        Cm             Db
But I have to go back in

I didn't want to intrude because I knew that I didn't have all the facts
