[Verse 1]
G D Percy Pursewarden G D Open up your door G D I haven't come to break your cadence Em D Or mix your metaphor G D And if I swore I was no critic G D would you let me come inside? G D Would you write your famous lines? G D Where you lay your secret plans Em A For suicide by slight of hand? G D And you let me down so kindly A You don't love me G D But you don't mind me

[Verse 2]
G D Percy Pursewarden G D After all your hard traveling G D Think a girl could lay down beside you Em D without your world unraveling? G D In a maudlin mess G D Yes, that's my clothing in a pile G D Just wanna stay a little while G D Just wanna see that crooked grin Em D A After the sedatives set in, hey G D And then we're feeling fine A F You don't love me G D I don't mind

[Verse 3]
G D Percy Pursewarden G D I'll be gone before you wake G D Back to the gallery of failures Em D to see what I can make of you G D Pursewarden G D Have mercy on my heart G D Maybe I don't want to call it art G D Just because you nailed it to the wall Em D A Maybe I'm a critic after all G D And you don't have to remind me A You don't love me G D But you don't mind me
