[Em]I heard a g[D]lass shatter on the wall in the [Bm]apartment above [C]mine [Em]At first I [D]thought that I was [Bm]dreaming [C] [Em]But then I heard the [D]voice of a girl And it [Bm]sounded like she’d been [C]crying [Em]Now I’m too [D]worried to be [Bm]sleeping [C]

[Em]So I took the elevator [D]to the second floor [Bm]Walked down the hall and then I [C]knocked upon her door [Em]She opened up [D]and I asked about the things I’ve been [Bm] [C]hearing

She said, [Em]”I think your ears are [D]playing tricks on you” [Bm]Sweater zipped up to her [C]chin [Em]”Thanks for caring, [D]sir, that’s nice of you, but I [Bm]have to go back [C]in [Em]Wish I could tell you [D]about the noise, but I [Bm]didn’t hear a [C]thing” She said, [Em]”It must have been the [D]wind, must have been the wind Must have been the [Bm]wind, it must have been the [C]wind” She said, [Em]”It must have been the [D]wind, must have been the wind Must have been the [Bm]wind, it must have been the [C]wind”

[Em]So I was laying [D]on the floor of my room, cold [Bm]concrete on my [C]back [Em]No, I just [D]couldn’t shake the [Bm]feeling [C] [Em]I didn’t want to [D]intrude because I knew that I [Bm]didn’t have all[C] the facts [Em]But I couldn’t [D]bear the thought of [Bm]leaving [C]her

[Em]So I took the elevator [D]to the second floor [Bm]Walked down the hall and then I [C]knocked upon her door [Em]She opened up a[D]nd I asked about the things I’ve been h[Bm]eari[C]ng

Aim my [Em]boom box at the [D]roof, I’m playing “lean on me” [Bm]Just so that she knows that she can [C]lean on me And [Em]when she hears the words, I hope she [D]knows she’ll be [Bm]okay [C] Aim my [Em]boom box at the roof, I’m [D]playing “lean on me” Just [Bm]so that she knows [C]that she can lean on me And w[Em]hen she hears the words, I[D] know exactly what I[Bm]’ll [C]say [Em]Promise I’m not [D]playing tricks on you, [Bm]you’re always welcome [C]to come in [Em]You could stay here [D]for an hour or two, if you [Bm]ever need [C]a friend

[Em]We can [D]talk about the noise, when [Bm]you’re ready, but [C]till then I say, [Em]”It must have been the [D]wind, must have been the wind Must have been the [Bm]wind, it must have been [C]the wind” I say, [Em]”It must have been the [D]wind, must have been the wind Must have been the [Bm]wind, it must have been the [C]wind”
