If my friends could see me now, driving round just like a film star,
C7G
In a chauffeur-driven jam-jar, they would laugh.
Dm7G7CG
They would all be saying that it?s not really me.
Dm7G7CG
They would all be asking who I?m trying to be.
CC6
If my friends could see me now, looking out my hotel window,
C7F
Dressed in satin strides and two-tone daisy roots.
FCDm7C
If my friends could see me now I know they would smile.

Prancing round the room like some outrageous poof.

They would tell me that I?m just being used.

Writing songs for old-time vaudeville revues.

All my friends would ask me what it?s all leading to.

Sitting in my hotel, looking at the world outside.
