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