      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 it’s not really me.
Dm7                 G7             C         G
  They would all be asking who I’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.

Trying to hide the gloom, sitting in my hotel room.

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 I’m just being used.
Dm7          G7              C         G
  They would ask me what I’m trying to prove.

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.
