^ ^ ^ [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?
