I can [Cm]hear the couple fighting [Bb]right next [Eb]door
Their angry [F]words sound [Eb]clear through [Bb]these thin [Cm]walls
Around [Cm]midnight I heard 'im shout [Bb]"Unfaithful [Eb]one"

He said [F]"Baby, don't you [Eb]lie to [Bb]me no [Cm]more"
And I'm [Cm]listening through these thin walls in [Bb]silent [Eb]shame
As she [F]called out my name[Eb] I was [Bb]right next [Cm]door

Because of [Bb]me It's because of [Cm]me
