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