Intro
D G
The wind's whistling
A# Am
My mind's twisting
D G
I was making myself the usual cup of tea
A# 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
A# Am
My mind's twisting
D G
I was making myself the usual cup of tea
A# 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
A# Am
My mind's twisting
D G
I was making myself the usual cup of tea
A# 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
And she's lifting and throwing to the wall
F
The post-natal harmonies of youth

When this younger man, twenty-five
F
Advantageously took away her pride
