[Verse]

Am Asus4 Fmaj7
Once
          Am Asus4 Fmaj7
There was a time
     Am Asus4 Fmaj7         Em
When my mind  lay on higher things

    Am Asus4 Fmaj7
And once
          Am Asus4 Fmaj7
There was a time
  Am         Asus4  Fmaj7    Em
I could find pretty words to sing

    Am Asus4 Fmaj7
But now
     Am Asus4 Fmaj7
well now I find
         Am   Asus4  Fmaj7    Em
It saves time to say what you mean

  Am      Asus4 Fmaj7
I know it seems
       Am Asus4 Fmaj7
So unrefined
         Am   Asus4      Fmaj7 Em
but it's time to let off some  steam

(Oh come on!)

[Chorus]

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      G6        C
I'm becoming more like Alfie

Am Asus4 Fmaj7
Once
          Am Asus4 Fmaj7
There was a time
Am   Asus4  Fmaj7         Em
When a kind word could be enough

    Am Asus4 Fmaj7
And once
          Am Asus4 Fmaj7
There was a time
        Am        Asus4  Fmaj7 Em
I could blindfold myself with  love

    Am Asus4 Fmaj7
But not now
        Am Asus4 Fmaj7
Now I'm resigned
       Am   Asus4   Fmaj7 Em
To the kind of life I had reserved

          Am Asus4 Fmaj7
For other guys
                Am Asus4 Fmaj7
Less smart than I
             Am            Asus4         Fmaj7    Em
Y'know - the kind who will always end up with the girls

(And besides)

[Chorus]

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      G6        C
I'm becoming more like Alfie

(Oh come on!)

[Outro]

F   D7/F#   Am   Em
F   D7/F#   Dm7/G   G
F   D7/F#   Am   Em

      F      G6        C     Cmaj7
I'm becoming more like Alfie
