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

F# C#
I'm not so manic now
B
I'm not so manic now
F# C#
I'm not so manic now

I'm not so manic now

Not so manic now
F# C#
I'm not so manic now

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