If my friends could see me now, driving round just like a film star,
   C7                  G
In a chauffeur-driven jam-jar, they would laugh.

 They would all be saying that it?s not really me.
Dm7         G7       C     G
 They would all be asking who I?m trying to be.

   C                 C6
If my friends could see me now, looking out my hotel window,
      C7                F
Dressed in satin strides and two-tone daisy roots.

If my friends could see me now I know they would smile.

Sitting in my hotel room, thinking ?bout the countryside

If my friends could see me now, dressing up in my bow-tie,
     C7                 G
Prancing round the room like some outrageous poof.

They would see me in my hotel, watching late shows ?til the morning,
    C7               F
Writing songs for old-time vaudeville revues.

All my friends would ask me what it?s all leading to.

Sitting in my hotel, looking at the world outside.
