Intro: E(sus4)- E - E(6) - A(6) - A7sus2

The neighborhood's really going down
Since the couple upstairs arrived back in town,
Ain't never seen what they both look like
But I sure can hear them when they start to fight
They go at it
B7                    A              Bb7
He shouts at her and she shouts back
B7                    A
He slams a door and she starts to pack
           C#m    B         A
You know I can't..... help thinking,
C#m     B        A              E       E7/G#        A
Starts...... me thinking, yeah, I can't help thinking
               C#m        A      Intro Repeat 2x
You know I've heard that beat before
I've heard that beat before
V2:
And when he goes out to get drunk with friends
There's a record she plays over and over again
It reverberates and the bass end booms
                            A   Ab   A
And the windows shake in my bathroom
  Bb   B7                       A
Ah, starts me thinking of the life I had,
Before the good times turned to bad
B       C#m   B          A                C#m    B         A
And my heart.....starts aching, when the floor.....starts shaking
            E      E7/G#    A         C#m        A    Intro Repeat 2x
Yeah there ain't nooooo mistakin' the beat I've heard before
I've heard that beat before

What can I say, what can I do?

Like me and you, it's déjà vu
       B             A6       A       
Those memories keep reappearing
G#7         C°          Eb°7

F           F/A       Bb       B    C
Then one night it's a new flashback
Sound of a different pitter pat
A new song playing in an upbeat tone
                             Bb    A    Bb     
And sounds of laughter when they get home

   C#7   Dm   C          Bb           C     Dm    C         Bb 
As the mood......starts changing and the fights......start raging
