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