The Rocking Chair

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?
