[Verse 1]
Cm                                
I can hear the couple fighting 
         Eb
right next door
            F           Eb  
their angry words sound clear 
       Bb              Cm
through these thin walls.
Cm                                
Around midnight I heard him shout 
            Eb
unfailthful one
      F                   Eb      
And I knew right then the axe was 
Bb    Cm
gonna fall
Bb                               
It's because of me, it's because of 
Cm
me


[Verse 2]
Cm                             
I heard him shout who is he, she 
          Eb
mumbled low
        F              Eb      Bb
He said Baby don't you lie to me 
   Cm
no more
Cm                                
And I'm listenin' through these 
                   Eb
thin walls in silent shame
         F               Eb   
As he called out my name, I was 
   Bb        Cm
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        
Oh, she was right next door, and 
                  Cm
I'm such a strong persuader
Ab                   Bb          
She was just another notch on my 
Cm
guitar
Ab                   Bb          
She's gonna lose the man that 
    Cm
really loves her
Ab                   Bb      
In the silence I can hear their 
            Cm
breakin' hearts
Eb  Cm Bb Ab G
Oh oh whoa

[Verse 3]
Cm                                
At daybreak I hear him pack and 
      Eb
say goodbye
       F                Eb       
I can hear him slam the door and 
Bb    Cm
walk away
Cm                                
Right next door I hear that woman 
         Eb
start to cry
         F         Eb      Bb    
I should go to her, but what 
    Cm
would I say
Bb                          Cm
It's because of me, it's because of 
me
Bb                Cm
Because of me, Young Buck


[Chorus]
Ab                     Bb        
Oh, she was right next door, and 
                  Cm
I'm such a strong persuader
Ab                   Bb          
She was just another notch on my 
Cm
guitar
Ab                   Bb          
She's gonna lose the man that 
    Cm
really loves her
Ab                   Bb      
In the silence I can hear their 
            Cm
breakin' hearts
