      C                                 Am
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.

F                   G                C          G
  They would all be saying that it’s not really me.

F                   G              C         G
  They would all be asking who I’m trying to be.


      C                                 Am
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               G           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                   G                        Am
Sitting in my hotel room, thinking ‘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.

      C                                  Am
If my friends could see me now, dressing up in my bow-tie,

         C7                                  G
Prancing round the room like some outrageous poof.

F            G                C          G
  They would tell me that I’m just being used.

F            G               C         G
  They would ask me what I’m trying to prove.


           C                            Am
They would see me in my hotel, watching late shows ‘til the morning,

        C7                              F
Writing songs for old-time vaudeville revues.

F                    C                Dm7         C
All my friends would ask me what it’s all leading to.

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.

      C                                    Am
If my friends could see me now, they would try to understand me,

           C7                              F
They would ask what on earth I’m trying to prove.

F                    C                Dm7         C
All my friends would ask me what it’s all leading to.
