## Lyrics
[verse]
He wears his father's tailor like a crown
Drops the names of clubs all over town
Talks about the places he's been seen
Never quite arrives at what he means

[verse]
He orders wine he cannot pronounce right
Tips his hat to nobody, thinks it's polite
Every joke he tells lands two beats late
Still he swears the room's in awe, not hate

[chorus]
Oh, he's a charmless man, doing the best he can
Selling smoke to everyone who'll buy
Oh, he's a charmless man, following the plan
Nobody's got the heart to say goodbye

[verse]
He collects the friends like they're a coat of arms
Never notices he's causing all the harm
Practiced smile hung up like a disguise
Something empty hiding in his eyes

[chorus]
Oh, he's a charmless man, doing the best he can
Selling smoke to everyone who'll buy
Oh, he's a charmless man, following the plan
Nobody's got the heart to say goodbye

[bridge]
Someday the room will see right through
The suit, the smile, the borrowed avenue
Until then he'll keep on holding court
A charmless king in a charmless fort

[chorus]
Oh, he's a charmless man, doing the best he can
Selling smoke to everyone who'll buy
Oh, he's a charmless man, following the plan
Nobody's got the heart to say goodbye
