Bm        Em
   I am a critic
D            A                  Bm
   Of my own critical need to define myself
     Em                   D
With wine, and words, and lovers,
    F#
And friends who don't understand
Bm                  Em
   So there, I just said it
D                 A
  You know that admitting the problem
       Bm                   Em
Is the first step towards repair
          D
"We all recover"
        F#                           Bm
Say the friends turned to wine-drunk lovers


[Chorus]
G                  D              F#
Smile, tell me I'm alright with a goodbye
        Bm
You are so misleading
G             D                        A
  A kiss or a gun fight - high-noon or midnight

         F#               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       F#
  So tell me I'm alright with a goodbye


[Little Interlude thing]
Bm  Em  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                Em
   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#                          Bm
Now you're stuck plucking three leaf clovers


[Chorus]
G                  D              F#
Smile, tell me I'm alright with a goodbye
        Bm
You are so misleading
G             D                        A
  A kiss or a gun fight - high-noon or midnight

         F#               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         F#
  So tell me I'm alright with a goodbye


[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/C#
  I'll give you an eye for an eye,
      C             
If it makes things easy


[Interlude]
Bm  Em  D  F#


[Chorus]
G                  D              F#
Smile, tell me I'm alright with a goodbye
        Bm
You are so misleading
G             D                        A
  A kiss or a gun fight - high-noon or midnight

         F#               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         F#
  So tell me I'm alright with a goodbye
