[Intro]
F C5

[Verse 1]
         F                 
From the back of the room, 
   C       Dm7
I saw you there
Dm7                 
Standing alone with 
     C          Bb
your long brown hair
Bb                
Eyes looking like 
    Dm      C5  C
the deepest sea
Dm7           C5        F
Suddenly they looked at me
F             C          Dm7
For a moment, time stood still
Dm7                      
You covered the distance 
         C      Bb
from the window sill
Bb                Dm     C
In my head, words rushed around
Dm7                     
When I opened my mouth, 
C5           F
nothing came out

[Chorus]
               Bb        
And what music played in 
                      C
the background of the room?
             F        C     
What was the day, the hour, 
               Dm7  C
the minute too?
       Bb            
I wish you'd stayed, 
                   C
you're leaving far too soon
       F        C         Dm7
So far away but always in view
   C        Bb
At night, I think of you
                F              C5
Do you think of me too?

[Verse 2]
  F              C         Dm7
I guess I didn't catch her name
    Dm7              C         Bb
She had no phone, no one night fame
    Bb             Dm    C5     C
She liked to write short poetry
     Dm7            
Draw buildings that 
     C5    F
grew on her street
          F       Bb      Dm7
And so we saw the morning in
    Dm7          
Greeted the rays 
    C       Bb
the sun did bring
Bb                Dm    C
Out the door, the empty streets
    Dm7          
She turned to me 
    C5        F
and kissed my cheek

[Chorus 2]
               Bb            
And what music played in the 
                  C
background of the room?
             F        C     
What was the day, the hour, 
               Dm7  C
the minute too?
       Bb            
I wish you'd stayed, 
                   C
you're leaving far too soon
       F        C         Dm7
So far away but always in view
   C        Bb
At night, I think of you
                F
Do you think of me too?

[Outro]
C Dm7           
Oh    at night, 
        Bb            C
I think of you
                F
Do you think of me too?
