Becoming More Like Alfie Chords
THE DIVINE COMEDY
Becoming more like Alfie

Once there was a time
[F] [F#] [Em]
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!
[F] [D5] [Am] [Em]
Everybody knows that No means Yes
[F] [D5] [Dm] [G]
Just like glasses come free on the N.H.S.
[F] [D5] [Am] [Em]
But the more I look through them the more I see
[F] [G] [C]
I’m becoming more like Alfie

Once there was a time
[F] [F#] [Em]
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!
