THE DIVINE COMEDY
Becoming more like Alfie

(by Tony)

[A minorAm] [Asus4Asus4] [A minorAm] [A5A5]

[A minorAm] [Asus4Asus4] [A minorAm]  [A5A5]
Once there was a time
[FF]      [F#F#]      [E minorEm]
When my mind lay on higher things
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!
[FF]     [D5D5]   [A minorAm]    [E minorEm]
Everybody knows that No means Yes
[FF]     [D5D5]    [DmDm]     [G+G]
Just like glasses come free on the N.H.S.
[FF]     [D5D5]       [A minorAm]    [E minorEm]
But the more I look through them the more I see
[FF]      [G+G]    [C majorC]
I’m becoming more like Alfie

[A minorAm] [Asus4Asus4] [A minorAm]  [A5A5]
Once there was a time
[FF]      [F#F#]      [E minorEm]
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!
