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