Verse 1:
Cm         Bb                                 Gm             Ab
I heard a glass shatter on the wall in the apartment above mine
Cm          Bb                  Gm   Ab
At first I thought that I was dreamin'
Cm                   Bb
But then I heard the voice of a girl
         Gm                    Ab
And it sounded like she'd been cryin'
Cm           Bb              Gm  Ab
Now I'm too worried to be sleepin'
 
Pre-Chorus:
Cm                      Bb
So I took the elevator to the second floor
Gm                               Ab
Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door
Cm            Bb                                       Gm   Ab
She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing
 
Chorus:
           Cm                     Bb
She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you"
 Gm                       Ab
Sweater zipped up to her chin
Cm                   Bb
"Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you
        Gm             Ab
But I have to go back in
Cm                        Bb
Wish I could tell you about the noise
        Gm            Ab
But I didn't hear a thing"
           Cm                       Bb
She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
                    Gm                           Ab
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
           Cm                      Bb
She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
                    Gm                           Ab
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
 
Verse 2:
Cm              Bb
So I was layin' on the floor of my room
        Gm           Ab
Cold concrete on my back
Cm           Bb                 Gm  Ab
No, I just couldn't shake the feeling
Cm                Bb                             Gm            Ab
I didn't want to intrude because I knew that I didn't have all the facts
Cm             Bb                      Gm   Ab
But I couldn't bear the thought of leavin' her
 
Pre-Chorus:
Cm                      Bb
So I took the elevator to the second floor
Gm                               Ab
Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door
Cm             Bb                                      Gm  Ab
She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing

But I didn't hear a thing"
           Cm                      Bb
She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
                     Gm                         Ab
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
 
Verse 3:
        Cm                 Bb
Aim my boom box at the roof, I'm playing "lean on me"
   Gm                                Ab
Just so that she knows that she can lean on me
     Cm                                   Bb              Gm Ab
And when she hears the words, I hope she knows she'll be okay
        Cm                       Bb
Aim my boom box at the roof, I'm playing "lean on me"
     Gm                   Ab
Just so that she knows that she can lean on me
     Cm                        Bb                   Gm   Ab
And when she hears the words, I know exactly what I'll say
Cm              Bb
Promise I'm not playing tricks on you
 Gm                   Ab
You're always welcome to come in
Cm                   Bb
You could stay here for an hour or two
       Gm        Ab
If you ever need a friend

Cm        Bb                         Gm              Ab
We can talk about the noise, when you're ready, but till then
        Cm                      Bb
I say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
                     Gm                    Ab
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
        Cm                         Bb
I say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
                     Gm                         Ab
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
