Canals

verse 1

B E
i Am a critic

D A B
of my own critical need to define myself

E D
with wine , and words , and lovers ,

A
and friends who don’t understand

B E
so there , i just said it

D A
you know that admitting the problem

B 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

D
you are so misleading

G D A
a kiss or a gun fight – high – noon or midnight

D 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
so tell me i’m alright with a goodbye

little interlude thing : )
B , E , 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 E
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#
now you’re stuck plucking three leaf clovers

chorus

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
i’ll give you an eye for an eye ,

C G
if it makes things easy

Bm , D , F#

G D A
smile , tell me alright with a goodbye . . .
