Charmless Man

CHARMLESS MAN

by BLUR

from THE GREAT ESCAPE

 

 

 

 

A G# Bass F#

I met him in a crowded room

 

A G# Bass F#

Where people go to drink away their gloom

 

Bm7 C#m7 D (E) A D A

He sat me down and so began, the story of a charmless man

 

A G# Bass F# A G# Bass F#

Educated the expensive way, he knows his claret from his beaujolais

 

Bm7 C#m7 D (E)

I think he's like to of been Ronnie Kray

 

A D A

But then nature didn't make him that way

 

 

 

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 E

He does the same to them, And when you put it all together

 

D7 A

There's the model of a charmless man

 

 

 

A G# Bass F#

He knows the swingers and their calvarly

 

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

 

 

 

He talks at speeds he gets nosebleeds

 

He doesn't see his days

 

Are tumbling down upon him

 

And yet he tries so hard to please

 

He's just so keen for you to listen

 

But no one is listening

 

And when you put it all together

 

There's the model of a charmless man
