[Verse] (C G A A x2) - Dm7 Em7 F F - C F C C

I met him in a crowded room                - …

Where people go to drink away their gloom  - …

He sat me down and so began  - …

The story of a charmless man - …     [Intro - Chorus]

Educated the expensive way   - …                 (x1)

He knows his claret from his Beaujolais    - …

I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray - …

But then nature didn't make him that way     ╔══════╗

((He went/Nana) nanananana (nanaaa) - … x2)

[Chorus #1] (C C C C - C Em7 Dm7 Em7 - Dm7 Dm7 x2)

(He thinks his educated - Airs - Those family shares

 Will protect him       - That (we'll) respect him)

(He moves in circles - Of friends - Who just pretend

 That they like him  - He does the same to them)

And when you put it all together

There's the model of a charmless man  [Hook] (/…) (…)

He knows the swingers and their cavalry - …

Says he can get in anywhere for free    - …

I began to go a little cross-eyed       - …

And from this charmless man I just had to hide [Hook]

(He talks at speed - He gets nose bleeds  [Chorus #2]

 He doesn't see                         ╔═══════════╗

 His days are tumbling - Down upon him) ║ Charmless ║

(And yet he tries  - So hard to please  ║    Man    ║

 He's just so keen                      ╚═══════════╝

 For you to listen - But no one's listening)
