Intro
F# B
The wind's whistling
D C#m
My mind's twisting
F# B
I was making myself the usual cup of tea
D B
When the doorbell strangely rang
[Verse 1]
E B A
E B A
E B
Because I've been up here for a while
A
I'm starting to feel the monotony of the tower block
E B
I'm not so manic now
A
I can uphold the weight of those neighbours
E B
And she's lifting and throwing to the wall
A
The post-natal harmonies of youth
E B
When this younger man, twenty-five
A
Advantageously took away her pride
[Chorus]
F# B
The wind's whistling
D C#m
My mind's twisting
F# B
I was making myself the usual cup of tea
D B
When the doorbell strangely rang
[Verse 2]
E B
I staggered shaking slowly to the door
A
Through the frosted panel I could see you
E B
Your intentions as a salesman truly cush
A
You endeavoured as a psycho just to push
E B
And whilst lifting and throwing to the wall
A
My puny structure of an ageing OAP
E B
No reason why you chose my flat
A
Breathing deeply in a trance
[Chorus]
F# B
The wind's whistling
D C#m
My mind's twisting

E B
I'm not so manic now (not so manic now)
A
I'm not so manic now (not so manic now)
E B
I'm not so manic now (not so manic now)
A
I'm not so manic now (not so manic now)
[Verse 3]
E B
Because I've been up here for a while

I'm not so manic now
A
Not so manic now
