Critical Drain

[G] [Gmaj7] [G] [Gmaj7] [C] [Cadd9] [C] [Cadd9]

No[G]thin' ever changes; is that really your name?
What's it[Cmaj7] mean, what's the context, could you explain?
I don't [Bm]mean to be an asshole, I don't mean to complain
But is tha[Cmaj7]t all we've [Bm]given ya? [Am]    [Bm]

I s[G]ee no point in turning all this worry to shame
There ain't no [Cmaj7]need to point the finger; I got no one else to blame
[Bm]Talk of secession has never been so plain
But is [Cmaj7]that all that we've said h[Bm]ere?[Am]

The k[C]ids are on fire; I'm just sat back tendin' the flames      [Em]
And w[Am]e're just circlin' '[C]round the critical drain

  [G]         [Em]         [G]          [Em]

Big[G]-time intuition in a tiny little brain
Spoutin'[Cmaj7] out thoughts about doubts and jealousy and pain
[Bm]Open-ended questions and the ones they contain
Did it[Cmaj7] all go to hel[Am]l in a day[Bm], kid?

Co[Am]nsider this my cond[G]ition
On the a[C]shes of the funerary [D7]pyre
Would you s[C]till have me surrender my [D]lyre?

[C]I'm only askin' 'cause it seems like you wanna say   [Em]
That [Am]we're just circlin' '[C]round the critical drain

  [G]         [Em]         [G]          [Em]

Co[Am]nsider this my au[G]dition
For that [C]little jazz combo in the [D7]sky
If I'm [C]not there yet, I'll tell you [D]why
I'm too [C]busy defiling the American songbook's name   [Em]
And [Am]we're just circlin' '[C]round the critical drain [G]
Yeah, [Am]we're just circlin' '[C]round the critical drain [G]
Yeah, [Am]we're just circlin' '[C]round the critical drain [G]
