Bb
[Verse 1]
Cm Eb
I can hear the couple fighting right next door
F Eb Cm
Their angry words sound clear through these thin walls
Cm Eb
Around midnight I heard 'im shout "Unfaithful one"
F Eb Cm
And I knew right then the axe was gonna fall
Bb Bb (arpeggio) Cm Cm (arp.)
It's because of me It's because of me
[Verse 2]
I heard him shout "Who is he", she mumbled low
He said "Baby, don't you lie to me nomore"
And I'm listening through these thin walls silent o' shame
As she called out my name I was right next door
It's because of me It's because of me
Because of me It's because of me
[Chorus]
Ab Bb Cm
Oh, she was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
Ab Bb Cm
She was just another notch on my guitar
Ab Bb Cm
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
Ab Bb Cm
In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts
[Solo] (haven't tabbed it yet)
[Verse 3]
At daybreak I can hear him pack, say goodbye
I can hear him slam the door and walk away
Right next door I can hear that woman start to cry
I should go to her, but what would I say
It's because of me It's because of me
Because of me Young heart
[Chorus]
Ab Bb Cm
Oh, she was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
Ab Bb Cm
She was just another notch on my guitar
Ab Bb Cm
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
Ab Bb Cm
In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts
Ab Bb Cm
Oh, she was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
Ab Bb Cm
She was just another notch on my guitar
Ab Bb Cm
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
Ab Bb Cm
In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts
