VERSE 1:
C C6
If my friends could see me now, driving round just like a film star,
C7 G
In a chauffeur-driven jam-jar, they would laugh.
Dm7 G7 C G
They would all be saying that itâ??s not really me.
Dm7 G7 C G
They would all be asking who Iâ??m trying to be.
C C6
If my friends could see me now, looking out my hotel window,
C7 F
Dressed in satin strides and two-tone daisy roots.
F C Dm7 C
If my friends could see me now I know they would smile.
C G7 Am C7 | F Dm |
Sitting in my hotel, hiding from the dramas of this great big world.
Am E7 Am C7 | F C | Dm7 C |
Seven storeys high, looking at the world go by-y.
C G7 Am
Sitting in my hotel room, thinking â??bout the countryside
C7 | F Dm |
and sunny days in June
Am E7 Am C7 | F C | Dm7 C |
Trying to hide the gloom, sitting in my hotel room.
VERSE2:
C C6
If my friends could see me now, dressing up in my bow-tie,
C7 G
Prancing round the room like some outrageous poof.
Dm7 G7 C G
They would tell me that Iâ??m just being used.
Dm7 G7 C G
They would ask me what Iâ??m trying to prove.
C C6
They would see me in my hotel, watching late shows â??til the morning,
C7 F
Writing songs for old-time vaudeville revues.
F C Dm7 C
All my friends would ask me what itâ??s all leading to.
C G7 Am C7 | F Dm |
Sitting in my hotel, looking through the window at the people in the street.
Am E7 Am C7 | F C | Dm7 C |
Seven storeys high, looking at the world go by-y.
Am E7 Am C7 | F C | Dm7 C |
Sitting in my hotel, looking at the world outside.
ENDING:
C C6
If my friends could see me now, they would try to understand me,
C7 F
They would ask what on earth Iâ??m trying to prove.
F C Dm7 C
All my friends would ask me what itâ??s all leading to.
