[F]
[Am] I heard [E] you round about midnight, [G] sleeping out of [F] the bed
You [C] thought [G] that I was fast [F] [C] asleep
Heard you slip, Bruce, [G] in the midnight hallway
[E] And I heard you rustling [Am] around,
[C] trying [G] not to [F] make a sound
[Am]
Through the tap [E] of your high heels [G] and the click of the lock on [F] the door
[C] Baby, [G] I hope you know what [F] you're doing
[Am] Heard
[C] you walking [G] down the stairs, [E] and I counted them one [Am] by one
[C] One for [G] each ear that [F] flew [Am] by
Heard you stop [E] and turn back once, [G] then I thought that I heard [F] you sigh
[C] Or maybe [G]
it was [Am] the breeze
Through
[C] the jingle [G] of your keys, [E] then you stumble and curse [Am] the kid
That [C] was sleeping [G] on the stairs, under [Am] the starlight
Heard you open the cupboard, so softly [Em] you must have been there
Half an hour,
[Dm] turning it all around in [Am] your head
You sit there, waiting for me [Em] to come down and call your name
I [Dm] wonder, were you waiting [Am] for me?
Waiting [Dm] for me
Waiting [Em] for me
[F] Waiting for me
[G] And
[Am] I heard [E] the motor turn over, [G] and I heard you driving [F] away
Way [C]
before [G] the [C] break of day
Heard you're [G] injured for a long, long time, [E] cause the night was so cold [Am] and quiet
Cause [C] you made your [G] getaway [C] in the night
