[Verse 1]
F
If my friends could see me now,
Am/E
Driving 'round just like a film star,
F7/Eb C
In a chauffeur driven jam jar, they would laugh,
G7 C7 F C
They would all be saying that it's not really me,
G7 C7 F C
They would all be asking who I'm trying to be
[Verse 2]
F
If my friends could see me now,
Am/E F7/Eb
Looking out my hotel window dressed in satin strides,
Dm7 Dm7/C Bb
And two-tone dai - sy roots,
Bb F/A
If my friends could see me now,
Gm F
I know they would smile
[Verse 3]
F C
Sitting in my ho - tel,
Dm7 F F7 Bb
Hiding from the dramas of this great big world,
Eb Dm A7
Seven stories high,
Dm7 F F7 Bb F/A Gm
Looking at the world go by------,
F C
Sitting in my hotel room,
Dm Dm/C F7/Eb Bb
Thinking of the country- side and sunny days in June,
Eb Dm7 A7
Trying to hide the gloom,
Dm F7 Bb F/A Gm
Sitting in my hotel room---------!
[Verse 4]
F
If my friends could see me now,
Am/E
Dressing up in my bow-tie,
F7/Eb C
Prancing 'round the room, like some outrageous poof,
G7 C7 F C
They would tell me that I'm just being used,
G7 C7 F C
They would ask me what I'm trying to prove
[Verse 5]
F
They would see me in my hotel,
Am/E
Watching late shows 'til the morning,
F7/Eb Dm7 Dm7/C Bb
Writing songs for old time vaude - ville re - vues,
Bb F/A Gm F
All my friends would ask me what it's all leading to?
[Verse 6]
F C Dm7 F
Sitting in my ho - tel looking through the window...
F7 Bb
At the people in the street,
Eb Dm A7
Seven stories high,
Dm7 F F7 Bb F/A Gm F
Looking at the world go by--------------,
Dm A7
Sitting in my hotel,
Dm7 F F7 Bb F/A Gm
Looking at the world out - side---------!
[Verse 7]
F
If my friends could see me now,
Am/E F7/Eb
They would try to understand me, they would ask me,
F7 Dm7 Dm7/C Bb
What on earth I'm trying to prove,
Bb F/A
All my friends would ask me,
Gm F
What it's all leading to?
