E            A
The wind's whistling
C          Bm
My mind's twisting
       E                 A
I was making myself the usual cup of tea
          C                   A
When the doorbell strangely rang

[Verse 1]
D A G
D A G
D                                 A
Because I've been up here for a while
      G
I'm starting to feel the monotony of the tower block
     D             A
I'm not so manic now
        G
I can uphold the weight of those neighbours
            D                          A
And she's lifting and throwing to the wall
          G
The post-natal harmonies of youth
             D                 A
When this younger man, twenty-five
               G
Advantageously took away her pride

[Chorus]
E           A
The wind's whistling
C           Bm
My mind's twisting
       E                A
I was making myself the usual cup of tea
           C                 A
When the doorbell strangely rang

[Verse 2]
D                                   A
I staggered shaking slowly to the door
         G
Through the frosted panel I could see you
       D                             A
Your intentions as a salesman truly cush
       G
You endeavoured as a psycho just to push
      D                                 A
And whilst lifting and throwing to the wall
           G
My puny structure of an ageing OAP
     D                       A
No reason why you chose my flat
            G
Breathing deeply in a trance

[Chorus]
E           A
The wind's whistling
C           Bm
My mind's twisting
       E                A
I was making myself the usual cup of tea
           C                 A
When the doorbell strangely rang

[Bridge]
D                A
I'm not so manic now (not so manic now)
G
I'm not so manic now (not so manic now)
D                 A
I'm not so manic now (not so manic now)
G
I'm not so manic now (not so manic now)

[Verse 3]
D                                 A
Because I've been up here for a while
      G
I'm starting to feel the monotony of the tower block
     D             A
I'm not so manic now
        G
I can uphold the weight of those neighbours
            D                          A
And she's lifting and throwing to the wall
          G
The post-natal harmonies of youth
             D                 A
When this younger man, twenty-five
               G
Advantageously took away her pride

[Outro]
D                 A
I'm not so manic now
G
I'm not so manic now
D                 A
I'm not so manic now
G
I'm not so manic now
G
Not so manic now
D                 A
I'm not so manic now
G
I'm not so manic now
D                 A
I'm not so manic now
G
I'm not so manic now
G
Not so manic now
