[Verse 1]
EmI heard a gDlass shatter on the wall in the apBmartment above mCine
EmAt first I tDhought that I was dBmreamiCn'
EmBut then I heard the Dvoice of a girl
And it soBmunded like she'd been Ccryin'
EmNow I'm too wDorried to be slBmeepiCn'
[Pre-Chorus]
EmSo I took the elevator tDo the second floor
BmWalked down the hall and then I kCnocked upon her door
EmShe opened up Dand I asked about the things I've been hBmearinCg
[Chorus]
She said, "EmI think your ears are pDlaying tricks on you"
SBmweater zipped up to her cChin
Em"Thanks for caring, sDir, that's nice of you
But I haBmve to go back iCn
EmWish I could tell you abouDt the noise
But I diBmdn't hear a thCing"
She said, "EmIt must have been the winDd, must have been the wind
Must have been the wBmind, it must have been the wiCnd"
She said, "EmIt must have been the wiDnd, must have been the wind
Must have been the wBmind, it must have been the wiCnd"
[Verse 2]
EmSo I was layin' Don the floor of my room
Cold conBmcrete on my bCack
EmNo, I just coDuldn't shake the fBmeeliCng
EmI didn't want to iDntrude because I knew that I dBmidn't have all Cthe facts
EmBut I couldn't Dbear the thought of leaBmvin' Cher
[Pre-Chorus]
EmSo I took the elevator tDo the second floor
BmWalked down the hall and then I kCnocked upon her door
EmShe opened up aDnd I asked about the things I've been hBmeariCng
[Chorus]
She said, "EmI think your ears are pDlaying tricks on you"
BmSweater zipped up to her cChin
Em"Thanks for caring, sDir, that's nice of you
But I haBmve to go baCck in
EmWish I could tell you abDout the noise
But I diBmdn't hear a tChing"
She said, "EmIt must have been the wiDnd, must have been the wind
Must have been the wiBmnd, it must have been the wCind"
She said, "EmIt must have been the wiDnd, must have been the wind
Must have been the wBmind, it must have been the wCind"
[Verse 3]
Aim my bEmoom box at the roofD, I'm playing "lean on me"
JusBmt so that she knows that she can lCean on me
And wEmhen she hears the words, I hope she kDnows she'll be BmokaCy
Aim my bEmoom box at the roof, I'm Dplaying "lean on me"
Just Bmso that she knows thaCt she can lean on me
And wEmhen she hears the words, I Dknow exactly what IBm'll sCay
EmPromise I'm not Dplaying tricks on you
YBmou're always welcome Cto come in
EmYou could stay here fDor an hour or two
If you Bmever need Ca friend
[Chorus 2]
EmWe can talDk about the noise, when yoBmu're ready, but Ctill then
I say, "EmIt must have been the wiDnd, must have been the wind
Must have been the wiBmnd, it must have been Cthe wind"
I say, "EmIt must have been the wind, Dmust have been the wind
Must have been the wiBmnd, it must have been the wCind"

[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"
