♫ Verse 1:
                  Cmaj9                    C9
And now we're all here, we've moved to New York
                          Fmaj7                      E7
We've found a nice little rental near a sweet little school
                   Cmaj9                    C9
Now I'm looking at houses with four or five floors
                       Fmaj7                              E7
And you've found us a brownstone, said “You want it? It’s yours”

♫ Chorus:
                        Cmaj9
So we went ahead and we bought it
                       C9
Found ourselves a good mortgage
                 F7
Billy Cotton got sorted
                  E
All the furniture ordered
               Cmaj9
I could never afford this
                 C9
You were pushing it forward
               Fmaj7
Made me feel a bit awkward
               E7
Made me feel a bit awkward


♫ Verse 2:
              Cmaj9                       C9
I walk up the stoop, I put the key in thе door
                          Fmaj7                     E7
And then my phone started ringing so I answеred the call
                    Cmaj9                       C9
And they were like "Hey, you've got a lead in a play"
                        Fmaj7                    E7
You've gotta be back in London for rehearsals in May"
                    Cmaj9                       C9
And then later that evening you said how was my day
                        Fmaj7                     E7
I said “I got some good news, I got the lead in a play”
                   Cmaj9              C9
That’s when your demeanour started to change
                            Fmaj7                    E7
You said that I'd have to audition, I said “You’re deranged”


♫ Bridge:
             Cmaj9
And I thought
            C9                  Fmaj7          E7
I thought that that was quite strange (I found that strange)
             Cmaj9
And I thought
            C9                  Fmaj7        E7
I thought that that was quite strange (So very strange)


♫ Chorus:
        Cmaj9
But I ignored it
               C9
Went ahead and I bought it
                   Fmaj7
Got a flight and I boarded
       E7
I'm on my way


♫ Chorus:
           Cmaj9             C9
Now I'm in London, I'm on my own
               Fmaj7               E7
And I'm in a hotel room, I'm on my own
           Cmaj9             C9
Now I'm in London, I'm on my own
               Fmaj7               E7
And I'm in a hotel room, I'm on my own
          Cmaj9        C9
Now I'm a West End Girl
          Fmaj7        E7
Now I'm a West End Girl
          Cmaj9        C9
Now I'm a West End Girl
  Fmaj7     E7
A West End Girl
