G        C
Far from handsome 
Em       G
Close to ugly 
          C
I pull my pants on 
  Em         G
I don’t look lovely 
         C            Em       G
I wear a singlet underneath my shirt 
          C     Em
I tuck it in at all times 
Am         C
And as the plot gets thicker 
Am          C        D# D
The hair on top gets thinner 

        G             C           G C
I’m not happy but I’m near enough 
[etc - with G C repeated]

G
Misunderstood 
C     Em
Much overweight 
G             C
My eyesight’s good 
    Em
But it’s not great 
G         C    Em   G
I read my horoscope today 
            C      Em
What have I got to hope for? 

Am               C
Daydreaming as I do the dishes 
   Am                     C      D# D
Of cuddles and kisses for Mr and Mrs 

        G             C           G C
I’m not happy but I’m near enough 
[etc - with G C repeated]

Em               C      G
Half-past eleven at the Clare Castle 
Em                   C       G             Bm
Another day, another drink, another debacle 
Em                    C  G
Sunlight makes the empty glasses sparkle 
C        G
I hardly notice 
C   G
I’m hopeless 
C                         Em
I couldn’t save myself to save myself 

Break: G C x lots

        G             C           G
I’m not happy but I’m near enough
