Lyrics:

Cm                                          Eb
I could hear the couple fighting right next door
      F                                     Eb
Their angry words sound clear through these thin walls		*** Thanks to Susan for the correction! ***
Cm                                            Eb
Around midnight I hear him shout, "Unfaithful one!"
F                         Eb            Cm
And I knew right then the axe was gonna fall

A#
It's because of me
Cm
It's because of me

Cm                         Eb
I heard him shout, "Who is he?"
    F          Eb
She mumbled low
Cm                                    Eb
He said, "Bady don't you lie to me no more!"

And I'm listening through these thin walls in silent shame
F                    Eb               Cm
As she called out my name I was right next door

A#
It's because of me
It's because of me
Because of me
It's because of me

G#                              A#                Cm
Oh, she was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
G#                   A#          Cm
She was just another notch on my guitar
G#                   A#               Cm
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
G#                     A#                Cm
In the silence I could hear their broken hearts

SOLO

Bass riff

Cm                                    Eb
At daybreak I heard him pack and say, "Good bye!"
   F                  Eb
I could hear him slam the door and walk away
Cm                                      Eb
Right next door I hear that woman start to cry
F              Eb                  Cm
I should go to her, but what would I say?

A#
It's because of me
It's because of me
Because of me
YOUNG BOB!

G#                              A#                Cm
Oh, she was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
G#                   A#          Cm
She was just another notch on my guitar
G#                   A#              Cm
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
G#                     A#                  Cm
In the silence I could hear their breaking hearts

G#                              A#                Cm
OH, she was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader, yeah!
G#                   A#          Cm
She was just another notch on my guitar
G#                   A#              Cm
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
G#                     A#                  Cm
In the silence I could hear their breaking hearts
