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