Em          D                                Bm             C
I heard a glass shatter on the wall in the apartment above mine
Em           D                  Bm   C
At first I thought that I was dreamin'
Em                    D
But then I heard the voice of a girl
        Bm                       C
And it sounded like she'd been cryin'
Em           D              Bm  C
Now I'm too worried to be sleepin'

Em                D
So I took the elevator to the second floor
Bm                                C
Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door
Em           D                                        Bm   C
She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing

Chorus:
         Em                        D
She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you"
Bm                         C
Sweater zipped up to her chin
Em                   D
"Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you
       Bm         C
But I have to go back in
Em                      D
Wish I could tell you about the noise
       Bm             C
But I didn't hear a thing"
           Em                     D
She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
                    Bm                          C
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
           Em                     D
She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
                    Bm                          C
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

So I was layin' on the floor of my room
Cold concrete on my back
No, I just couldn't shake the feeling
I didn't want to intrude 'cause I knew
That I didn’t have all the facts
But I couldn’t bear the thought of leavin' her

So I took the elevator to the second floor
Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door
She opened up, and I asked about the things I’ve been hearing

Chorus

        Em                 D
Aim my boom box at the roof, I'm playing "lean on me"
 Bm                                  C
Just so that she knows that she can lean on me
     Em                                    D              Bm C
And when she hears the words, I hope she knows she'll be okay
        Em                         D
Aim my boom box at the roof, I'm playing "lean on me"
 Bm                          C
Just so that she knows that she can lean on me
     Em                           D                    Bm  C
And when she hears the words, I know exactly what I'll say

Chorus:
"Promise I'm not playing tricks on you
You're always welcome to come in
You could stay here for an hour or two
If you ever need a friend"
"We can talk about the noise when you're ready, but 'til then"
I'll say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
I'll say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
