A    C#m/G# D/F#     E
Here I walk, here I walk
  F#m                   E/G#                  D/F# E
Loooking for an angel's wings in the den of the hawk

A   C#m/G# D/F#   E
Here I am, here I am
        F#m                   E/G#            D/F# E
With a choice between an also ran and a sunbed tan

           A                               C#m/G#
And you thought you'd found your own little look
  B/F#              E
How I misjuged, how I mistook
           A                                 C#m/G#
And you thought you'd found the style of your hair
  D/F#                E         D/F#             E
I guess tonight I'll take, I'll take my troubles to
       A
The rocking chair

A       B/F#                     E     E7
So I'll take these high heeled shoes
A       B/F#                          E     E7
And yes I'll take these traditional views
     F#m               E         A           C#m/G#
I'll take this deep despair of a 30 year old square
         F#m
To the rocking chair

A    C#m/G# D/F#    E
Here I sit, here I sit
  F#m                 E/G#                   D/F# E
Looking for a warming smile in a house of cold wit
A     C#m/G# D/F#      E
Here I stand, here I stand
F#m                      E/G#              D/F# E
Torn between the balding drunk and no man's land

             A/F#                            C#m/G#
And they'll tell you when you've reached your peak
          B/F#                           E
Where the wulf-whistle rung there's a deafening shriek
   A                  C#m/G#
Blowing kisses into the air
  D/F#                E         D/F#                E
I guess tonight I'll take, I'll take these troubles to
       A
The rocking chair

A       B/F#                 E     E7
So I'll take these awkward stance
A        B/F#                E     E7
And I'll take this sexless dance
     F#m               E         A           C#m/G#
I'll take this deep despair of a 30 year old square
        F#m
To the rocking chair

A  C#m/G#  D/F#  E  F#m  E/G#  D/F#  E
A  C#m/G#  D/F#  E  F#m  E/G#  D/F#  E

    A                   C#m/G#
Am I skinny? A shade too fat?
       D/F#                      E
Mmmm... My friend the cat knows all about that
    A
Am I happy?

(Here I sit, here I sit)
             C#m/G#
Just a little sad

(Looking for a warming smile in the house of cold wit)
       D/F#                      E
Mmmm... My friend the cat knows all about that
    A
Am I skinny?

(Here I walk, here I walk)
           C#m/G#
A shade too fat?

(Loooking for an angel's wings in the den of the hawk)
D/F#                     E
My friend the cat knows all about that
