      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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
