[Verse 1]
Cm                                         Eb
I can hear the couple fighting right next door
            F           Eb         Bb              Cm
their angry words sound clear through these thin walls.
Cm                                            Eb
Around midnight I heard him shout unfailthful one
      F                   Eb      Bb    Cm
And I knew right then the axe was gonna fall
Bb                               Cm
It's because of me, it's because of me


[Verse 2]
Cm                                       Eb
I heard him shout who is he, she mumbled low
        F              Eb      Bb   Cm
He said Baby don't you lie to me no more
Cm                                                   Eb
And I'm listenin' through these thin walls in silent shame
         F               Eb      Bb        Cm
As he called out my name, I was right next door
Bb                            Cm
It's because of me, it's because of me
Bb                  Cm
Because of me, it's because of me


[Chorus]
Ab                     Bb                          Cm
Oh, she was right next door, and I'm such a strong persuader
Ab                   Bb          Cm
She was just another notch on my guitar
Ab                   Bb              Cm
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
Ab                   Bb                  Cm
In the silence I can hear their breakin' hearts
Eb  Cm Bb Ab G
Oh oh whoa

[Verse 3]
Cm                                      Eb
At daybreak I hear him pack and say goodbye
       F                Eb       Bb    Cm
I can hear him slam the door and walk away
Cm                                         Eb
Right next door I hear that woman start to cry
         F         Eb      Bb        Cm
I should go to her, but what would I say
Bb                          Cm
It's because of me, it's because of me
Bb                Cm
Because of me, Young Buck


[Chorus]
Ab                     Bb                          Cm
Oh, she was right next door, and I'm such a strong persuader
Ab                   Bb          Cm
She was just another notch on my guitar
Ab                   Bb              Cm
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
Ab                   Bb                  Cm
In the silence I can hear their breakin' hearts


[Outro]
Ab                     Bb                          Cm
Oh, she was right next door, and I'm such a strong persuader
Ab                   Bb          Cm
She was just another notch on my guitar
Ab                   Bb              Cm
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
Ab                   Bb                  Cm
In the silence I can hear their breakin' hearts
