[Intro]
G#m G#m

[Verse 1]
G#m
I once played the Albert Hall, and nervously performed
G#m
Now I’m in somebody’s house, on sofas that are worn
  C#m                                G#m
A pile of boots out in the hall, and drinks served on a tray
      D#7
While I  play very gingerly the hits of yesterday

[Verse 2]
G#m
In the bedroom nylon sheets, a few books and a bear
G#m
My rider of sweet orange juice, and bits of Camembert
C#m                                G#m
I  can hear them milling round, as I  tune up to play
D#7                                 G#m        E7
I  once sang in New York clubs, but that’s not me today

[Chorus]
        D#7                G#m
In this house, there is no stage
            D#7                  G#m
And in this house, they’re all a-mazed
   C#m              G#m     E7      D#7   G#m
To see how far I’ve fallen, in this house

[Verse 3]
G#m
I once played the biggest gigs, my agent could provide
G#m
Trucks of lighting and PA would hang about outside
   C#m                               G#m
To-night I’m by the angle poise with no mic and no leads
   D#7                                      G#
To-morrow I’ll be on my way to number fifty three

[Chorus]
        D#7                G#m   E7
In this house, there is no stage
            D#7                  G#m
And in this house, they’re all a-mazed
   C#m              G#m     E7      D#7   G#m
To see how far I’ve fallen, in this house

[Bridge]
C#m
    A brown envelope is filled with cash
G#m
    As I head out of the door
C#m
    Once there was a limousine
G#m                 A#7  E7
Now there isn’t any-more

[Chorus]
            D#7                G#m
But in this house, there is no stage
            D#7                G#m
And in this house, they’re all amazed
        C#m              G#m
Just to see how far I’ve fallen
        D#7
In this house
        G#m
In this house

[Outro]

G#m | G#m | G#m | G#m |
