  			INTRO: E  B7  E 

         E                 A            E 
When you left you said you would not be returnin' 
                                    B7 
Nothing here you'd ever want to see again 
         E                 A           E 
But each night you come to visit me in memories 
                          B7         E 
And won't you be a little quieter if you can 


CHORUS: 
     A                                E 
Last night I heard you walkin' in the hallway 
                                           B7 
And your footsteps sounded like a marching band 
      E                A               E 
And I haven't slept in so long I can't remember 
                         B7         E 
So won't you be a little quieter if you can 


INTRO 


Well you're back again tonight out in the kitchen 
I can hear you as you rattle the pots and pans 
Oh what I'd give to see you when you visit me 
'Cause these lonely walls are drivin' me insane 


CHORUS: 
         A                                      E 
When you finish with your bath please close the faucet 
                                              B7 
The dripping water sounds just like a driving rain 
     E                 A               E 
Each night I'm lookin' forward to your visit 
                          B7         E        A 
But won't you be a little quieter if you can 
             E           B7         E 
I wish you'd be a little quieter if you can
