Intro: C Dm Em Dm x8
C
She came in the back door with
Her heart on her sleeve
Dm
If I had even noticed would've asked her to leave
Em
But I was too far away from the scene of the crime
Dm
Just me and a cup of hot sleepytime
C
Reading the latest biography
Dm
Hoping that it might be someone like me
Em
Just to find me a way out of my head
Dm C
But let's forget all that, cause it's time for bed
C Dm Em Dm
C
She came in the back door with her heart in her hand
Dm
And she's quiet as the old dusty baby grand
Em
And I'm half asleep in the candlelight
Dm
That hot cup of tea did me just right
C
She's slipping around through open doors
Dm
Two white socks on the hardwood floors
Em
She sat herself down behind the keys
Dm C
She played and she played as loud as she pleased
Dm Em Dm
And I said oh....
D
Whoever you are you've gone to far
A
Cause I need my precious peace and quiet
D
Open wide and you come inside
A
To disturb my precious peace and quiet
D
I love the way that you play
A
But I need my precious peace and quiet
D
I'd kick you out with my scream and shout
A G
but I just can't seem to do it
C Dm Em Dm
C
So I jumped out of bed with my heart in my throat
Dm
And I picked up my heels so I could get your goat
Em
Cause I remember the last time you did this trick
Dm
You had me spooking around with a candlestick
C
Peace and quiet that's what I had
Dm
But you can't help being bad
Em
Through the back door with your heart in your hand
Dm
You take your favorite seat behind the baby grand
C
She came in the back door with her heart on a string
Dm
She kicked off the dust and she made it sing
Em
And I'm down the stairs in a squint of an eye
Dm
Just to see what's up and see just why
C
Someone busted down my back door
Dm
And snuck across the kitchen floor
Em
And is playing a tune while I'm counting sheep
Dm
It sure is pretty but I can't sleep
Dm Em Dm
And I said oh....
D
Whoever you are you've gone to far
A
Cause I need my precious peace and quiet
D
Open wide and you come inside
A
To disturb my precious peace and quiet
D
I love the way that you play
A
But I need my precious peace and quiet
D
I'd kick you out with my scream and shout
A G
but I just can't seem to do it
Dm
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you
C
are? Whooo..
Dm
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you
C
are? Whooo..
Dm
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you
C
are? Whooo..
Dm
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you
C
are? Whooo..
