[Intro]
A C#m/G# D/F# E F#m E/G# D/F# E
[Verse 1]
A C#m/G# D/F# E Here I walk, here I walk F#m E/G# D/F# E Loooking for an angel's wings in the den of the hawk A C#m/G# D/F# E Here I am, here I am F#m E/G# D/F# E With a choice between an also ran and a sunbed tan
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A C#m/G# And you thought you'd found your own little look B/F# E How I misjuged, how I mistook A C#m/G# And you thought you'd found the style of your hair D/F# E D/F# E I guess tonight I'll take, I'll take these troubles to A The rocking chair
[Chorus]
A B/F# E E7 So I'll take these high heeled shoes A B/F# E E7 And yes I'll take these traditional views F#m E A C#m/G# I'll take this deep despair of a 30 year old square F#m To the rocking chair
[Verse 2]
A C#m/G# D/F# E Here I sit, here I sit F#m E/G# D/F# E Looking for a warming smile in a house of cold wit A C#m/G# D/F# E Here I stand, here I stand F#m E/G# D/F# E Torn between the balding drunk and no man's land
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A/F# C#m/G# And they'll tell you when you've reached your peak B/F# E Where the wolf-whistle rung there's a deafening shriek A C#m/G# Blowing kisses into the air D/F# E D/F# E I guess tonight I'll take, I'll take these troubles to A The rocking chair
[Chorus]
A B/F# E E7 So I'll take this awkward stance A B/F# E E7 And I'll take this sexless dance F#m E A C#m/G# I'll take this deep despair of a 30 year old square F#m To the rocking chair
[Interlude]
A C#m/G# D/F# E F#m E/G# D/F# E
[Verse 3]
A C#m/G# D/F# E Am I skinny? A shade too fat? F#m E/G# D/F# E Mmmm... My friend the cat knows all about that A C#m/G# D/F# E Am I happy? Just a little sad
(Here I sit) (Here I sit)
F#m E/G# Mmmm...
(Looking for a warming smile)
D/F# E My friend the cat knows all about that
(in the house of cold wit)
A C#m/G# D/F# E Am I skinny? A shade too fat?
(Here I walk) (Here I walk)
F#m E/G# Mmmm...
(Looking for an angel's wings)
D/F# E My friend the cat knows all about that
(in the den of the hawk)
[Outro]
