G                                      C
I can hear my neighbors making love upstairs, their love is
G                           C
rattling my tables and my chairs
            Am
Keeping me awake
                           G
The love they make is keeping me awake
                G                   D                   G
While I'm just trying to get some sleep on the ground floor

G                                C
I don't mind my neighbor making love upstairs
G                                  C
Cause I was once the lover making all my neighbors scared
              G            Am                  G              C
you and me thundering the floorboards with our power and our force
                     G                  D                  G
While they're just trying to get some sleep on the ground floor

       G                  C           G
I can hear my neighbors making love upstairs
                 G                      C
Their love is amplifying all of my despair
      Am             D                  C
Cause I was once a lover now I have to listen to my neighbors
        G                  C                   Am      C
Making love upstairs from down on the ground floor
                          D
from down on the ground floor
                          G
from down on the ground floor

G                                    C
In the city all the humans live in layers
G                                          C
I got people down the hall and down the stairs
   Am               D                 C                 Am
We all move in and out and live our lives in stacks and rows and pairs
     C              D             G
And try to find someone with whom we can share it

        G                 C             G
I can hear my neighbors making love upstairs
                      G                           C
Wish I didn't have to be so well informed of their affairs
    Am                   D                   C
But if they have to be doing something, at least they're having fun
    Am          D               C
Sometimes I forget that all of us are just human
               Am                       D
Cause we're all stacked in rows and columns
        C                   Am
And if one of them should fall on me
   G                 D                  Em
My neighbors making love upstairs would crush me
                        C    D    Em
I'm down on the ground floor
                        C    D    Em
I’m down on the ground floor
C                        G
I’m down on the ground floor
