[Verse 1]
A A/G# F#
I met him in a crowded room
A A/G# F#
Where people go to drink away their gloom
Bm7 C#m7 D A D A
He sat me down and so began, the story of a charmless man
A A/G# F# A A/G# F#
Educated the expensive way, he knows his claret from his beaujolais
Bm7 C#m7 D E
I think he's like to have been Ronnie Kray
A D A
But then nature didn't make him that way
A A/G# F#
Na na na na na na na
A A/G# F#
Na na na na na na na
[Chorus]
A
He thinks he's educated, airs those family shares
C#m7 Bm7 C#m7 Bm7
Will protect him that we will respect him
A
He moves in circles of friends
C#m7 Bm7
Who just pretend that they like him
C#m7 Bm7 Esus4
He does the same to them, And when you put it all together
D9 A
There's the model of a charmless man
[Interlude]
A A/G# F#
Na na na na na na na
A A/G# F#
Na na na na na na na
[Verse 2]
A A/G# F#
He knows the swingers and their calvarly
A A/G# F#
Says he can get in anywhere for free
Bm7 C#m7 D E
I began to go a little cross eyed
A D A
And from this charmless man I just had to hide
[Chorus]
A
He talks at speeds he gets nosebleeds
C#m7
He doesn't see his days
Bm7 C#m7 Bm7
Are tumbling down upon him
A
And yet he tries so hard to please
C#m7 Bm7
He's just so keen for you to listen
C#m7 Bm7
But no one is listening
Esus4
And when you put it all together
D9 A
There's the model of a charmless man
[Solo]
