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-Refrain]
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
[Refrain]
           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"
[Strophe]
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-Refrain]
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

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"
[Strophe]
        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
[Refrain]
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"
