If my friends could see me now,

Driving 'round just like a film star,

Prancing 'round the room, like some outrageous poof,

They would ask me what I'm trying to prove

They would see me in my hotel,
ch]Am/E[/ch
Watching late shows 'til the morning,
ch]F7/Eb[/ch] [ch]Dm7[/ch] [ch]Dm7/C[/ch] [ch]Bb[/ch
Writing songs for old time vaude - ville re - vues,
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]F/A[/ch] [ch]Gm[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
All my friends would ask me what it's all leading to?

At the people in the street,

Seven stories high,

What on earth I'm trying to prove,
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]F/A[/ch

What it's all leading to?
