verse 1
B E
I Am A critic
D A B
Of my own critical need to define myself
E D
With wine, and words, and lovers,
A
And friends who don't understand
B E
So there, I just said it
D A
You know that admitting the problem
B Em
Is the first step towards repair
D
"We all recover"
F# Bm
Say the friends turned to wine-drunk lovers
G D F#
Smile, tell me I'm alright with a goodbye
D
You are so misleading
G D A
A kiss or a gun fight - high-noon or midnight
D G
Darling, I don't want to know
D F#
If I'm just a short sight on a cold night
Bm
The canals are freezing
G D A
So tell me I'm alright with a goodbye
B, E, D, A
Verse Two
Bm Em
Am I A villain
D A
Cast among heroes
Bm Em D
With all of their underwhelming, overbearing struggles
F#
To become what they'll never be?
Bm E
Friends to the wicked
D A Bm
Caution is calling, but nobody's home,
Em D
The lights are off, the party's over,
F#
Now you're stuck plucking three leaf clovers
Chorus
Bridge
Em G
You've got the high ground
D A
And I'm on my best defence
Em G
But I dare you to come down,
D A
I'll give you an eye for an eye,
C G
If it makes things easy
Bm, D, F#
G D A
Smile, tell me alright with a goodbye...
