Capo 3 Key Bb
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
Am G C
I can hear the couple fighting right next door
D C G Am
Their angry words sound clear through these thin walls
Am G C
Around midnight I heard 'im shout "Unfaithful one"
D C G Am
And I knew right then the axe was gonna fall
G Am
It's because of me It's because of me
[Verse 2]
Am G C
I heard him shout "Who is he?", she mumbled low
D C G Am
He said "Baby, don't you lie to me no more"
Am G C
And I'm listening through these thin walls in silent shame
D C G Am
As she called out my name I was right next door
G Am
It's because of me It's because of me
G Am
Because of me It's because of me
[Chorus]
F G Am
Oh, she was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
F G Am
She was just another notch on my guitar
F G Am
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
F G Am
In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
Am G C
At daybreak I hear him pack, say goodbye
D C G Am
I can hear him slam the door and walk away
Am G C
Right next door I hear that woman start to cry
D C G Am
I should go to her, but what would I say
G Am
It's because of me It's because of me
G Am
Because of me Young Bob
[Chorus]
F G Am
Oh, she was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
F G Am
She was just another notch on my guitar
F G Am
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
F G Am
In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts
F G Am
Oh, she was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
F G Am
She was just another notch on my guitar
F G Am
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
F G Am
In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts
[End Solo]
