INTRO (4 times) I can hear the couple fighting right next door Their angry words sound clear through these thin walls. Around midnight I heard 'im shout "Unfaithful one" And I knew right then the axe was gonna fall. (arp.) It's because of me It's because of me I heard him shout "Who is he", she mumbled low He said "Baby, don't you lie to me no more" And I'm listening through these thin walls in silent shame As she called out my name I was right next door (arp) It's because of me It's because of me (arp.) Because of me It's because of me CHORUS Oh, she was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader She was just another notch on my guitar She's gonna lose the man that really loves her In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts -Oh Wo oh oh SOLO (chords over chorus) At daybreak I can hear him pack, say goodbye. I can hear him slam the door and walk away Right next door I can hear that woman start to cry I should go to her, but what would I say (arp.) It's because of me It's because of me (arp.) Because of me Young heart Repeat Chorus 2X then instrumental over chorus. fading out
