Verse 1:
Gm         F                                 Dm             Eb
I heard a glass shatter on the wall in the apartment above mine
Gm          F                  Dm   Eb
At first I thought that I was dreamin'
Gm                   F
But then I heard the voice of a girl
         Dm                    Eb
And it sounded like she'd been cryin'
Gm           F              Dm  Eb
Now I'm too worried to be sleepin'
 
Pre-Chorus:
Gm                      F
So I took the elevator to the second floor
Dm                               Eb
Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door
Gm            F                                       Dm   Eb
She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing
 
Chorus:
           Gm                     F
She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you"
 Dm                       Eb
Sweater zipped up to her chin
Gm                   F
"Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you
        Dm             Eb
But I have to go back in
Gm                        F
Wish I could tell you about the noise
        Dm            Eb
But I didn't hear a thing"
           Gm                       F
She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
                    Dm                           Eb
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
           Gm                      F
She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
                    Dm                           Eb
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
 
Verse 2:
Gm              F
So I was layin' on the floor of my room
        Dm           Eb
Cold concrete on my back
Gm           F                 Dm  Eb
No, I just couldn't shake the feeling
Gm                F                             Dm            Eb
I didn't want to intrude because I knew that I didn't have all the facts
Gm             F                      Dm   Eb
But I couldn't bear the thought of leavin' her
 
Pre-Chorus:
Gm                      F
So I took the elevator to the second floor
Dm                               Eb
Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door
Gm             F                                      Dm  Eb
She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing
 
Chorus:
           Gm                     F
She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you"
Dm                        Eb
Sweater zipped up to her chin
Gm                   F
"Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you
        Dm         Eb
But I have to go back in
Gm                      F
Wish I could tell you about the noise
        Dm           Eb
But I didn't hear a thing"
           Gm                      F
She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
                     Dm                         Eb
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
           Gm                      F
She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
                    Dm                          Eb
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
 
Verse 3:
        Gm                 F
Aim my boom box at the roof, I'm playing "lean on me"
   Dm                                Eb
Just so that she knows that she can lean on me
     Gm                                   F              Dm Eb
And when she hears the words, I hope she knows she'll be okay
        Gm                       F
Aim my boom box at the roof, I'm playing "lean on me"
     Dm                   Eb
Just so that she knows that she can lean on me
     Gm                        F                   Dm   Eb
And when she hears the words, I know exactly what I'll say
Gm              F
Promise I'm not playing tricks on you
 Dm                   Eb
You're always welcome to come in
Gm                   F
You could stay here for an hour or two
       Dm        Eb
If you ever need a friend
 
Chorus 2:
Gm        F                         Dm              Eb
We can talk about the noise, when you're ready, but till then
        Gm                      F
I say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
                     Dm                    Eb
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
        Gm                         F
I say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
                     Dm                         Eb
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
