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
[Bridge]

[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

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
