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. CHORUS1: Chords: C x32010 F x33211 G7 320001 Dm xx3231 Am x02210 E7 020130 C7 x32310 Dm7 xx0211
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 ‘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: Chords: C x32010 Dm7 xx0211 C6 x32210 G7 xx0001 C7 x32310 F x33211
G 320003
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 I’m just being used.
Dm7 G7 C G They would ask me what I’m trying to prove.
C C6 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. CHORUS2: Chords: C x32010 F x33211 G7 320001 Dm xx3231 Am x02210 E7 020130 C7 x32310 Dm7 xx0211
