G                         C      G
I can hear my neighbors making love upstairs, their love is
G                      D     C
rattling my tables and my chairs
            Am
Keeping me awake
     D                   G         C
The love they make is keeping me awake
                G                   D                   G              C
While I'm just trying to get some sleep on the ground floor


G                          C     G
I don't mind my neighbor making love upstairs
                              D    C
Cause I was once the lover making all my neighbors scared
              Am            D                  G              C
you and me thundering the floorboards with our power and our force
                     G                  D                  G
While they're just trying to get some sleep on the ground floor

       G                  C           G
I can hear my neighbors making love upstairs
                 G        D         C
Their love is amplifying all of my despair
      Am             D                  G              C
Cause I was once a lover now I have to listen to my neighbors
        G                  D                  C   D                  
Making love upstairs from down on the ground floor

  Em D              C      D
 from down on the ground floor

Em D                G               C      G
 from down on the ground floor

G                            C      G                                  
In the city all the humans live in layers
                       D         C                                      
I got people down the hall and down the stairs
            Am               D                 G                  C
We all move in and out and live our lives in stacks and rows and pairs
             G                D             G
And try to find someone with whom we can share it

        G                 C             G
I can hear my neighbors making love upstairs
                      G                        D     C
Wish I didn't have to be so well informed of their affairs
    Am                   D                   G                   C
But if they have to be doing something, at least they're having fun
    Am          D               G            C
Sometimes I forget that all of us are just human
               Am                       D
Cause we're all stacked in rows and columns
        G                   C
And if one of them should fall on me
   G                 D                  C   D   Em
My neighbors making love upstairs would crush me
                        C    D    Em
I'm down on the ground floor
                        C    D    Em
I’m down on the ground floor
C                        G
I’m down on the ground floor
