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