Intro
F A#
The wind's whistling
C# Cm
My mind's twisting
F A#
I was making myself the usual cup of tea
C# A#
When the doorbell strangely rang
[Verse 1]
D# A# G#
D# A# G#
D# A#
Because I've been up here for a while
G#
I'm starting to feel the monotony of the tower block
D# A#
I'm not so manic now
G#
I can uphold the weight of those neighbours
D# A#
And she's lifting and throwing to the wall
G#
The post-natal harmonies of youth
D# A#
When this younger man, twenty-five
G#
Advantageously took away her pride
[Chorus]
F A#
The wind's whistling
C# Cm
My mind's twisting
F A#
I was making myself the usual cup of tea
C# A#
When the doorbell strangely rang
[Verse 2]
D# A#
I staggered shaking slowly to the door
G#
Through the frosted panel I could see you
D# A#
Your intentions as a salesman truly cush
G#
You endeavoured as a psycho just to push
D# A#
And whilst lifting and throwing to the wall
G#
My puny structure of an ageing OAP
D# A#
No reason why you chose my flat
G#
Breathing deeply in a trance
[Chorus]
F A#
The wind's whistling
C# Cm
My mind's twisting
F A#
I was making myself the usual cup of tea
C# A#
When the doorbell strangely rang
[Bridge]
D# A#
I'm not so manic now (not so manic now)
G#
I'm not so manic now (not so manic now)
D# A#
I'm not so manic now (not so manic now)
G#
I'm not so manic now (not so manic now)
[Verse 3]
D# A#
Because I've been up here for a while
G#
I'm starting to feel the monotony of the tower block
D# A#
I'm not so manic now
G#
I can uphold the weight of those neighbours
D# A#
And she's lifting and throwing to the wall
G#
The post-natal harmonies of youth
D# A#
When this younger man, twenty-five
G#
Advantageously took away her pride
[Outro]
D# A#
I'm not so manic now
G#
I'm not so manic now
D# A#
I'm not so manic now

I'm not so manic now
G#
Not so manic now
D# A#
I'm not so manic now
G#
I'm not so manic now
D# A#
I'm not so manic now
G#
I'm not so manic now
G#
Not so manic now
