Am E
I heard you round about midnight
G F
Slipping out of the bed
C G F
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 F
Trying not to make a sound
Am E
Heard the tap of your high heels
G F
And the click of the lock on the door
C G F
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 F
One for each year that flew by
Am E
Heard you stop and turn back once
G F
Then I thought that I heard you sigh
C G F
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 F
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 F G
Waiting for me, waiting for me, waiting for me
Am E
Then I heard the motor turn over
G F
And I heard you driving away
C G F
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 F
As you made your getaway in the night
Am E G F C G Fmaj7
C G E Am C G Fmaj7 . ........ --> ?
