you but I don't think I could
Bb
Eb
F
Talking to you is just like talking to wood
Eb
F
Eb
F
But I don't mind, my life is mine,
Eb
F
though you've gotten me for some time.
Eb
F
Bb
yes my name's on your file.
A legal document you'd
Eb
F
say with a smile.
Eb
F
Eb
That's just fine, it's only time,
F
Eb
F
so I'll just sit and watch you climb
Eb

F
Bb
Yes, I'll watch you climb to the floor,
the earth floor
Gm
Eb
Bb
Cm
Where they throw you to the lions
F
Bb
and then show you the door
Gm
Eb
Bb
Cause it's cold up there on the
Cm
New
York sky
F
Bb
Gm
And the building's made of tin
Ab
And you've got to watch
for the enemies within
Eb
Bb
For me it's easy
Eb
F
Cause you don't mean a thing
Bb
You cage the songbird
Eb
F
But you can't make it sing
Eb
F
Eb
F
Eb
F
You don't scare me, I've learned to be detached from little men like you,
Bb
but there are others
Eb
F
Bb
who just won't understand how a man
Eb
F
like you can hold their lives in your hands.
Eb
F

So take your time, make up your mind,
F
Eb

I hope you make it right and fine
Eb

Bb
Cause there's no room for friendship on the floor,
the earth floor
Gm
Eb
Bb
And the ones that you crushed on your
F
Bb
F
slope climb up first and round your door
Gm
Eb
When you're on the
Cm
F
heart of many a one
Bb
Gm
Who would have been your friend
Ab
And the best cannot bow,
Eb
Bb
Eb
F
Bb
don't want to bend
Eb
F
Bb
Eb
Ambition's easy, but the price is too high
F
Bb
Eb
The power that you seek will turn out a lie
F
Eb
F
Eb

When your time comes, just do your sums,
Eb

and count the enemies you've made.
Eb

Oh, look, my friend,
F
Bb
Gm
you've marked the 40th floor,
Eb
and the ones that you've crushed
Cm
F
Bb
on your sofa will show you the door.
Gm
Eb
Cm
I'm your heart, the heart of anyone
F
Bb

who would have been your friend
Gm
Ab
And the men who cannot
Eb
bow don't like to bend

40th floor,
a number which I understand was about
That's a certain record company executive,
a record company executive.
I'm not going to tell you who it was because I
couldn't stand another lawsuit, but that
might just give you a little insight
into what the song was all about.
I was asking
Leslie before we started tonight if
there were any tours in the offing, but
she said no,
busy recording another album.
When will it be out,
Leslie?
When it's recorded.
When it's recorded.
A good answer, a good answer.
I think we better get on to the next number,
it's called the surf.
Wie hat dir der Song gefallen?
