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

Am I a villain?
Cast among heroes with all of their
Underwhelming overbearing struggles
To become what they'll never be?
Friends to the wicked
Caution is calling, but nobody's home
The lights are off, the party's over
Now you're stuck plucking three-leaf clovers

Chorus

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
If it makes things easy

Chorus

Smile, tell me I'm alright
With a goodbye
