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

I'm not so manic now

I'm not so manic now

Not so manic now
