Chord progression: F-Dm-Gm-C7-F after bridge G-Em-Am-D7-G
[F] Took a [Dm] walk and passed your [Gm] house [C7] late last [F] night,
All the [Dm] shades were pulled and [Gm] drawn [C7] 'way down [F] tight,
From within [Dm] a dim light [Gm] cast two [C7] silhouettes on the [F]
shade,
Oh what a [Dm] lovely [Gm] couple they [C7] made.
[F] Put his [Dm] arms around your [Gm] waist, [C7] held you [F] tight,
Kisses I [Dm] could almost [Gm] taste, [C7] in the [F] night,
Wondered why [Dm] I'm not the [Gm] girl whose [C7] silhouette's on the [F]
shade,
I couldn't [Dm] hide the [Gm] tears [C7] in my [F] eyes.
Bridge: F-Dm-Gm-C7-F-D7-Gm-C7-F-D7-G
[G] Lost cont-[Em]-rol, and rang your [Am] bell, [D7] I was [G] sore,
"Let me [Em] in, or else I'll [Am] beat [D7] down your [G] door".
When two [Em] strangers, who had [Am] been two [D7] silhouettes on the [G]
shade,
Said to my [Em] shock, "you're [Am] on the wr-[D7]-ong [G] block"
[G] Rushed down [Em] to your house with [Am] wings [D7] on my [G] feet,
Loved you [Em] like I've never [Am] loved, [D7] you my [G] sweet,
Vowed that [Em] you and I would [Am] be, two [D7] silhouettes on the [G]
shade,
All of our [Em] days, two [Am] silhouettes [D7] on the [G] shade
G-Em-Am-D7-G-E7-Am-D7-G repeat fade, ad lib
