[G] [Am] [D]
[G] [Am] [D]
Ahhhh
Took [G] [Em] a walkin' [C] past your house [D]
late [G] last night
All the shades were [Am] pulled and drawn [D]
way [G] down tight
[Em] Come within a [C] dim light cast [D] two silhouettes [G] on the shade
[Em] Oh, what a [Gb] lovely couple [D] they [G] made
[Em] Put his arms [C] around your waist
[D]
Held [G] you tight
Kisses I could [C] almost taste
[D]
In [G] the night
Wondered why I'm [C] not the guy
[D] Whose silhouette's [G] on the shade
I couldn't hide [Am] the tears in [D] my [G] eyes
Silhouette, silhouette, [C] silhouette, [Gb]
[G] silhouette
Silhouette, silhouette, [C] silhouette, [Bm]
[G] silhouette
Lost [C] [C]
[G] [D]
[Em] control [C] and rang your bell
[B] [D] I was [G] sore
Let [Em] me in or [C] else I'll beat [D]
down [G] your door
Went to strangers who [C] had been
[D] Two silhouettes [G] on the shade
Said to my child
[Am] You're on [D] the wrong [G] block
[Gm] [Eb]
[Ab] [F] Stamped to your [Bbm] house with wings
[Eb] On [Ab] my [Fm] feet
Loved you like [Db] I'd never [Eb] love
You, my [Ab] sweet
[G] Vowed that you [Ab] and I [Db] would be
[Eb] Two silhouettes [Ab] on the shade
All of our days
[Bbm] Two silhouettes on the [Eb] shade
[Ab] Silhouette, [Fm] silhouette, [Ab] silhouette, [Bb] silhouette, [Eb] silhouette [Ab] Two [Fm] silhouettes
[Bbm]
[Eb] On [Ab] the shade
