Becoming More Like Alfie

Written by Neil Hannon

	  		INTRO: 
Am	Asus4	Am	Am(add9)	 
i.e. just keep moving the C on the 2nd string up and down. 

Am  Asus4  Fmaj7/G then add 11 (release the C 2nd string) 
Once                    there was a  
Am  Asus4  Fmaj7/G then add 11 
time,                   When my  
Am/F# Asus4/F# Fmaj7 (6-5) Em (6-5) 
mind  lay on   higher      things 
{as above} 
And once there was a time 
I could find pretty words to sing 
But now, well now I find 
It saves time to say what you mean 
I know it seems so unrefined 
but it's time to let off some steam  

Oh come on! 
F         D7/F#      Am       Em 
Everybody knows that No means Yes 
	  F	  D7/F#	           Dm7/G G 
Just like glasses come free on the N. H. S. 
        F      D7/F#	         Am	    Em 
But the more I look through them the more I see 
      F      G(6)      C 
I'm becoming more like Alfie  

Once there was a time 
When a kind word could be enough 
And once there was a time 
I could blindfold myself with love 
But not now - now I'm resigned 
To the kind of life I had reserved 
For other guys less smart than I 
Y'know - the kind who will always end up with the girls  

And besides 
Everybody knows that No means Yes 
Just like glasses come free on the N.H.S. 
But the more I look through them the more I see 
I'm becoming more like Alfie  

Oh come on!
