The Kinks - When I Turn Off the Living Room Light: chords

C                    E7
Who cares if you're jewish,
          Am              G
And your breath smells of garlic,
          E7                  Am
And your nose is a shiny red light.
    F          D7
To me you are gorgeous,
    C             A7
And everything's right,
        D7                       G7
When I turn off the living room light.
        C              E7
Your clothes are old-fashioned,
       Am           G
Your knuckles are bony,
           E7               Am  G
Your hair looks a terrible sight.
       F             D7
But I don't have to see you,
     C            A7
The way that you are,
        D7           G           C
When I turn off the living room light.
        E7                       Am  G
When I turn off the living room light.
   F             D7
I don't have to see you,
     C            A7
The way that you are,
        D7           G7          C
When I turn off the living room light.

           F        D7     C
Well it's not that you are ugly,
    F       D7      C
And I'm not being cruel,
    F        D7   C    A7
It helps me to relax, dear
    D7               G7
It helps to keep me cool.
    F     D7    C
Now I am not intending,
    F        D7     C
To make you feel ashamed,
         F       D7    C      A7
What's wrong in me pretending?
            D7                G7
'Cause you can't help being plain.

Your nose may be bulbous
Your face may be spotty
Your skin may be wrinkled and tight
But I don't want to see you
The way that you are
So I turn off the living room light

We don't feel so ugly
We don't feel so draggy
We don't feel so twisted up tight
And we don't feel as ugly as we really are
When we turn off the living room light
When we turn off the living room light
We don't feel as ugly as we really are
When we turn off the living room light
