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

I'm not so manic now
E
Not so manic now
B F#
I'm not so manic now
E
I'm not so manic now
B F#
I'm not so manic now
E
I'm not so manic now
E
Not so manic now
