[verse 1]
Old C#m9enough to be her dad
C#m9But the young men were just mad
C#m9They Badd11nursed their Amaj7grievances
Amaj7But she was flF#m9attered by his charm
F#m9It wouldn'tF#m9/E do her any harm
F#m9/E D#m7-5 G#7sus4 G#7
They'd all had their chances
[verse 2]
He C#m9sent her flowers and limousines
C#m9And she was treated like a queen
C#m9And aBadd11nything she eAmaj7ver wanted
Amaj7Was no problem for a man like him
Amaj7And evF#m9eryone expected soon
F#m9That she could F#m9/Eask him for the moon
F#m9/E D#m7-5 G#7sus4 G#7
If she would wear his ring
[verse 3]
KnoC#m9wing glances from his friends
C#m9In the homes at the weekends of Badd11high Amaj7society
Amaj7But he F#m9didn'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
[chorus]
G#7And all would Amaj7envy
G#7sus4The older maG#7n
G#7And his C#m9beautiful young wife Badd11
Badd11Yes, all wouldAmaj7 envy... G#7sus4

[verse 4]
InC#m9 a house upon a hill
C#m9She was there with time to kil
C#m9She lBadd11ived a lAmaj7ife she'd only dreamed
Amaj7But life was never what it seemed
Amaj7To all her F#m9friends 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)
[verse 5]
ButC#m9 the clock upon the wall
C#m9That was ticking in the Badd11hall
Badd11Always remiAmaj7nded her
Amaj7That life was gF#m9oing 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
[chorus]
G#7And all would Amaj7envy
G#7sus4The older maG#7n
G#7And his C#m9beautiful young wife Badd11
Badd11 Amaj7 G#13sus4 G#aug7/F#
Yes, all would envy...

[bridge]
Now F#m9it's 5 o'clock a.m.
F#m9She must have spent the night F#m9/Eagain
F#m9/EWith that old friend oDmaj7f hers
Dmaj7She loves to dance
Dmaj7She's missF#m9ing more and more these days
F#m9But I'm still stuck in my old F#m9/Eways
F#m9/EPerhaps she needs a little Dmaj7more romance C#7sus4
F#m9But 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#7And where a Amaj7younger man would weep
Amaj7He takes a Bpill and goes to sleep C#m B6/C# C#m
