1. Hey girl, what ya doin' down there,

                                                                          G

    dancin' alone every night while I live right above you.

                                         G7     G                                 G7

    I can hear your music playin', I can feel your body swayin',

      G                                   G7                               C

    one floor below me you don't even know me, I love you.

 

              C7          F                                                          C

Oh, my darling, knock three times on the ceiling, if you want me,

  G                                                  C

twice on the pipe, if the answer is no.

                C7           F                                                        C

Oh my sweetness,  x  x  x  means you'll meet me in the hallway,

   G                                                                        C      

twice on the pipe  x  x  means you ain't gonna show.

 

     - F      C

2.        If you look out your window tonight,

                                                                                        G

    pull in the string with the note that's attached to my heart.

                                            G7                 G                       G7

    Read how many times I saw you, how in my silence I adored you,

      G                                 G7                                         C

    only in my dreams did that wall between us come apart.
