    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...
[interlude] C#m9 C#m9 D#-9/G D#-9/G C#m9 C#m9 D#-9/G G7-5 [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
