Am E
I heard you round about midnight
G Fmaj7
Slipping out of the bed
C G Fmaj7
You thought that I was fast asleep
C G
Heard your slippers in the midnight hallway
E7 Am
And I heard you rustling around
C G Fmaj7
Trying not to make a sound
Am E
Heard the tap of your high heels
G Fmaj7
And the click of the lock on the door
C G Fmaj7
Baby, I hope you know what you're doing
C G
Heard you walking down the stairs
E7 Am
And I counted them one by one
C G Fmaj7
One for each year that flew by
Am E
Heard you stop and turn back once
G Fmaj7
Then I thought that I heard you sigh
C G Fmaj7
Or maybe it was the breeze
C G
Heard the jingle of your keys
E7 Am
Then you stumbled and cursed the cat
C G Fmaj7
That was sleeping on the stairs under the stars
Am
Heard you open the car door softly
Em
You must have been there half an hour
Dm Am
Turning it all round in your head
Were you sitting there waiting
Em
For me to come down and call your name?
Dm Am
I wonder, were you waiting for me
Dm Em Dm Fmaj7 G
Waiting for me, waiting for me, waiting for me
Am E
Then I heard the motor turn over
G Fmaj7
And I heard you driving away
C G Fmaj7
Way before the break of day
C G
Heard your engine for a long, long time
E Am
'Cause the night was so cold and quiet
C G Fmaj7
As you made your getaway in the night
Am E G Fmaj7 C G Fmaj7
