G D
Em D

[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

[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
