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