[verse 1]
C#m9
Old enough to be her dad
C#m9
But the young men were just mad
C#m9 Badd11 Amaj7
They nursed their grievances
Amaj7 F#m9
But she was flattered by his charm
F#m9 F#m9/E
It wouldn't do her any harm
F#m9/E D#m7-5 G#7sus4 G#7
They'd all had their chances
[verse 2]
C#m9
He sent her flowers and limousines
C#m9
And she was treated like a queen
C#m9 Badd11 Amaj7
And anything she ever wanted
Amaj7
Was no problem for a man like him
Amaj7 F#m9
And everyone expected soon
F#m9 F#m9/E
That she could ask him for the moon
F#m9/E D#m7-5 G#7sus4 G#7
If she would wear his ring
[verse 3]
C#m9
Knowing glances from his friends
C#m9 Badd11 Amaj7
In the homes at the weekends of high society
Amaj7 F#m9
But he didn't give a damn
F#m9 F#m9/E D#m7-5
He never felt more like a man
D#m7-5 G#7sus4 G#7
But all the time the clock was ticking
[chorus]
G#7 Amaj7
And all would envy
G#7sus4 G#7
The older man
G#7 C#m9 Badd11
And his beautiful young wife
Badd11 Amaj7 G#7sus4
Yes, all would envy...
[interlude]
C#m9 C#m9 D#-9/G D#-9/G
[verse 4]
C#m9
In a house upon a hill
C#m9
She was there with time to kil
C#m9 Badd11 Amaj7
She lived a life she'd only dreamed
Amaj7
But life was never what it seemed
Amaj7 F#m9
To all her friends that she'd ignored
F#m9 F#m9/E D#m7-5
She'd deny that she was bored
D#m7-5 G#7sus4 G#7
She had no time for dancing (no time for dancing)
[verse 5]
C#m9
But the clock upon the wall
C#m9 Badd11
That was ticking in the hall
Badd11 Amaj7
Always reminded her
Amaj7 F#m9
That life was going on elsewhere
F#m9 F#m9/E D#m7-5
But she was happy and she'd swear
D#m7-5 G#7sus4 G#7
She wouldn't change a thing
[chorus]
G#7 Amaj7
And all would envy
G#7sus4 G#7
The older man
G#7 C#m9 Badd11
And his beautiful young wife
Badd11 Amaj7 G#13sus4 G#aug7/F#
Yes, all would envy...

[bridge]
F#m9
Now it's 5 o'clock a.m.
F#m9 F#m9/E
She must have spent the night again
F#m9/E Dmaj7
With that old friend of hers
Dmaj7
She loves to dance
Dmaj7 F#m9
She's missing more and more these days
F#m9 F#m9/E
But I'm still stuck in my old ways
F#m9/E Dmaj7 C#7sus4
Perhaps she needs a little more romance
F#m9
But the clock upon the wall
F#m9/E D#m7-5
Is still ticking in the hall
D#m7-5 G#7sus4 G#7
She must be home soon
G#7 Amaj7
And where a younger man would weep
Amaj7 B C#m B6/C# C#m
He takes a pill and goes to sleep
[chorus]
C#m Amaj7
And all would envy
G#7sus4 G#7
The older man
G#7 C#m9 Badd11
And his beautiful young wife
Badd11 Amaj7 G#13sus4
Yes, all would envy
