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
