VERSE1: Chords: C   x32010    Dm7 xx0211 C6  x32210    G7  xx0001 C7  x32310    F   x33211 G   320003 If my friends could see me now driving round just like a film star In a chauffeur-driven jam-jar they would laugh.   They would all be saying that it’s not really me.   They would all be asking who I’m trying to be. If my friends could see me now looking out my hotel window Dressed in satin strides and two-tone daisy roots. If my friends could see me now I know they would smile. CHORUS1: Chords: C  x32010    F   x33211 G7 320001    Dm  xx3231 Am x02210    E7  020130 C7 x32310    Dm7 xx0211 Sitting in my hotel hiding from the dramas of this great big world. Seven storeys high looking at the world go by-y.       Sitting in my hotel room thinking ’bout the countryside and sunny days in June Trying to hide the gloom sitting in my hotel room.       VERSE2: Chords: C   x32010    Dm7 xx0211 C6  x32210    G7  xx0001 C7  x32310    F   x33211 G   320003 If my friends could see me now dressing up in my bow-tie Prancing round the room like some outrageous poof.   They would tell me that I’m just being used.   They would ask me what I’m trying to prove. They would see me in my hotel watching late shows ’til the morning Writing songs for old-time vaudeville revues. All my friends would ask me what it’s all leading to.   CHORUS2: Chords: C  x32010    F   x33211 G7 320001    Dm  xx3231 Am x02210    E7  020130 C7 x32310    Dm7 xx0211 Sitting in my hotel looking through the window at the people in the street. Seven storeys high looking at the world go by-y.       Sitting in my hotel looking at the world outside.       ENDING: Chords: C   x32010    Dm7 xx0211 C6  x32210    G7  xx0001 C7  x32310    F   x33211 G   320003 If my friends could see me now they would try to understand me They would ask what on earth I’m trying to prove. All my friends would ask me what it’s all leading to.
