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