[Verse 1]
B B/A# G#
I met him in a crowded room
B B/A# G#
Where people go to drink away their gloom
C#m7 D#m7 E B E B
He sat me down and so began, the story of a charmless man
B B/A# G# B B/A# G#
Educated the expensive way, he knows his claret from his beaujolais
C#m7 D#m7 E F#
I think he's like to have been Ronnie Kray
B E B
But then nature didn't make him that way
B B/A# G#
Na na na na na na na
B B/A# G#
Na na na na na na na
[Chorus]
B
He thinks he's educated, airs those family shares
D#m7 C#m7 D#m7 C#m7
Will protect him that we will respect him
B
He moves in circles of friends
D#m7 C#m7
Who just pretend that they like him
D#m7 C#m7 F#sus4
He does the same to them, And when you put it all together
E9 B
There's the model of a charmless man

[Verse 2]
B B/A# G#
He knows the swingers and their calvarly
B B/A# G#
Says he can get in anywhere for free
C#m7 D#m7 E F#
I began to go a little cross eyed
B E B
And from this charmless man I just had to hide
[Chorus]
B
He talks at speeds he gets nosebleeds
D#m7
He doesn't see his days
C#m7 D#m7 C#m7
Are tumbling down upon him
B
And yet he tries so hard to please
D#m7 C#m7
He's just so keen for you to listen
D#m7 C#m7
But no one is listening
F#sus4
And when you put it all together
E9 B
There's the model of a charmless man
