Dm7 G7 C G 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.

Dm7 G7 C G They would tell me that I’m just being used. Dm7 G7 C G They would ask me what I’m trying to prove. C C6 They would see me in my hotel, watching late shows ‘til the morning, C7 F Writing songs for old-time vaudeville revues. F C Dm7 C All my friends would ask me what it’s all leading to. CHORUS2: Chords: C x32010 F x33211 G7 320001 Dm xx3231 Am x02210 E7 020130 C7 x32310 Dm7 xx0211 C G7 Am C7 | F Dm | Sitting in my hotel, looking through the window at the people in the street. Am E7 Am C7 | F C | Dm7 C | Seven storeys high, looking at the world go by-y. Am E7 Am C7 | F C | Dm7 C | Sitting in my hotel, looking at the world outside.
