Verse 1:
G+G    D MajorD
Percy Pursewarden
G+G    D MajorD
Open up your door
G+G    D MajorD
I haven't come to break your cadence
E minorEm   D MajorD
Or mix your metaphor
     G+G       D MajorD
And if I swore I was no critic
     G+G       D MajorD
would you let me come inside?
     G+G       D MajorD
Would you write your famous lines?
     G+G       D MajorD
Where you lay your secret plans
E minorEm            A augmentedA
For suicide by slight of hand?

            G+G  D MajorD
And you let me down so kindly
A augmentedA
You don't love me
        G+G  D MajorD
But you don't mind me

Verse 2:
G+G    D MajorD
Percy Pursewarden
G+G    D MajorD
After all your hard traveling
G+G    D MajorD
Think a girl could lay down beside you
E minorEm   D MajorD
without your world unraveling?
   G+G    D MajorD
In a maudlin mess
       G+G       D MajorD
Yes, that's my clothing in a pile
       G+G       D MajorD
Just wanna stay a little while
       G+G       D MajorD
Just wanna see that crooked grin
E minorEm D MajorD           A augmentedA
After the sedatives set in, hey

            G+G D MajorD
And then we're feeling fine
A augmentedA        FF
You don't love me
    G+G  D MajorD
I don't mind

Verse 3:
G+G    D MajorD
Percy Pursewarden
G+G    D MajorD
I'll be gone before you wake
G+G    D MajorD
Back to the gallery of failures
E minorEm   D MajorD
to see what I can make of you
G+G   D MajorD
Pursewarden
   G+G      D MajorD
Have mercy on my heart
   G+G      D MajorD
Maybe I don't want to call it art
   G+G      D MajorD
Just because you nailed it to the wall
   E minorEm      D MajorD     A augmentedA
Maybe I'm a critic after all

              G+G  D MajorD
And you don't have to remind me
A augmentedA
You don't love me
        G+G  D MajorD
But you don't mind me
