[verse 1]

    C#m9
Old enough to be her dad
C#m9
But the young men were just mad
C#m9 Badd11       Amaj7
They nursed their grievances
Amaj7         F#m9
But she was flattered by his charm
F#m9       F#m9/E
It wouldn't do her any harm
F#m9/E D#m7-5        G#7sus4         G#7
They'd all had their chances


   C#m9
He sent her flowers and limousines
C#m9
And she was treated like a queen
C#m9 Badd11       Amaj7
And anything she ever wanted
Amaj7         
Was no problem for a man like him
Amaj7 F#m9
And everyone expected soon
F#m9           F#m9/E
That she could ask him for the moon
F#m9/E D#m7-5         G#7sus4        G#7
If she would wear his ring


   C#m9
Knowing glances from his friends
C#m9                            Badd11 Amaj7
In the homes at the weekends of high   society
Amaj7  F#m9
But he didn't give a damn
F#m9    F#m9/E           D#m7-5
He never felt more like a man
D#m7-5               G#7sus4              G#7
But all the time the clock was ticking


G#7           Amaj7
And all would envy
G#7sus4     G#7
The older man
G#7     C#m9                 Badd11
And his beautiful young wife
Badd11        Amaj7       G#7sus4
Yes, all would envy...

[verse 4]

  C#m9
In a house upon a hill
C#m9
She was there with time to kil
C#m9 Badd11  Amaj7        
She lived a life she'd only dreamed
Amaj7
But life was never what it seemed
Amaj7      F#m9
To all her friends that she'd ignored
F#m9  F#m9/E            D#m7-5
She'd deny that she was bored
D#m7-5              G#7sus4                   G#7
She had no time for dancing (no time for dancing)


   C#m9
But the clock upon the wall
C#m9                    Badd11
That was ticking in the hall
Badd11     Amaj7  
Always reminded her
Amaj7          F#m9
That life was going on elsewhere
F#m9  F#m9/E                D#m7-5
But she was happy and she'd swear
D#m7-5                G#7sus4        G#7        
She wouldn't change a thing


G#7           Amaj7
And all would envy
G#7sus4     G#7
The older man
G#7     C#m9                 Badd11
And his beautiful young wife
Badd11   Amaj7  G#13sus4  G#aug7/F#   
Yes, all would envy...

    F#m9
Now it's 5 o'clock a.m.
F#m9                          F#m9/E
She must have spent the night again
F#m9/E                Dmaj7
With that old friend of hers
Dmaj7
She loves to dance
Dmaj7     F#m9
She's missing more and more these days
F#m9                          F#m9/E
But I'm still stuck in my old ways
F#m9/E                     Dmaj7              C#7sus4
Perhaps she needs a little more romance
F#m9
But the clock upon the wall
F#m9/E                 D#m7-5
Is still ticking in the hall
D#m7-5         G#7sus4               G#7
She must be home soon
G#7         Amaj7
And where a younger man would weep
Amaj7      B                         C#m  B6/C#  C#m
He takes a pill and goes to sleep


C#m           Amaj7
And all would envy
G#7sus4     G#7
The older man
G#7     C#m9                      Badd11      
And his beautiful young wife
Badd11         Amaj7     G#13sus4
Yes, all would envy
