lyrics

DAMN ALL THOSE CRITICS

verse: g d c g
chorus: [(b7 em) x3] c g c g c d
bridge: [(d c g g7) x2] d c g a7 [(d7 d#7) x2] d c bm am g

take all the proof you've gathered so long
come down from the fence that you're sitting upon
these bloodshot sad eyes will witness the end
i wish we'd been better friends...
sing your goodbyes & name your disease
& when we both speak there'll be harmonies
you hit the highs, i'll hit the lows
& damn all those critics, who cares what they know

[chorus]
pull me back under / cause you've got my number
& sometimes i wonder / if you can explain
why you changed your name
but you're still the same...man that i

can't live without & can't live within
you let it get under your skin
so go hit them highs, i've got the lows
& damn all those critics, who cares what they know

[bridge]
the balloon that you tied to your wrist
putting one more on the guest list
& i'm still sure i could never believe you would change
it's strange...you've taken the boy but the man complains

[ch]

can't live without & can't live within
you let it get under your skin
so go hit them highs, i've got the lows
& (damn all those critics) x3
who cares what they know.
