The Kinks - Sitting in My Hotel: chords

      F
If my friends could see me now,
         Am/E
Driving 'round just like a film star,
     F7/D#                                 C
In a chauffeur driven jam jar, they would laugh,
G7                 C7               F          C
They would all be saying that it's not really me,
G7                C7               F        C
They would all be asking who I'm trying to be

        F
If my friends could see me now,
        Am/E
Looking out my hotel window,
           F7/D#                       Dm7 Dm7/C A#
Dressed in satin strides, and two-tone daisy   roots
A#                  F/A            Gm
If my friends could see me now, I know they
        F
would smile

Chorus:
F                C
Sitting in my hotel,
        Dm            F7/D#              A#
Hiding from the dramas of this great big world,
D# Dm          A7    Dm7            F7     A# F/A Gm
Seven stories high, looking at the world go by,
F                    C
Sitting in my hotel room, thinking of
     Dm          Dm/C
the country side,
    F7/D#          A# D#
And sunny days in June,
Dm7                 A7     Dm            F7
Trying to hide the gloom, sitting in my hotel
 A#  F/A Gm
room

If my friends could see me now,
dressing up in my bow-tie
Prancing round the room like some outrageous poove
They would tell me that I'm just being used
They would ask me what I'm trying to prove

They would see me in my hotel
Watching late shows till the morning
Writing songs for old time vaudeville revues
All my friends would ask me what it's all leading to

Chorus:
Sitting in my hotel, looking through
the window at the people in the street
Seven stories high looking at the world go by
Sitting in my hotel, looking at the world outside

If my friends could see me now they
would try to understand me
They would ask me what on earth I'm trying to prove
All my friends would ask me what it's all leading to
