(VERSE 1)
A7              Em
Can we run that again
A7              Em
Is that a woman's voice I hear?
G                       Em                    G
I said, "Let's wait and see. I'll see for myself"
G                    Em
That's a phrase I repeat to myself
G                   Em
Made a reference to me and
Em
that's myself too.

I heard the voice first last week

I heard it myself
G                   Em
Made a reference to me
