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