A D7+ F#m Bm
Once upon a time is how it always goes but I'll make it brief
A D7+ F#m G
What was started out with such excitement now I'd gladly end with relief
A D7+ F#m B7
In what now has become a familiar motif
A E G D
That nothing is good enough for people like you
A E G
Who have to have someone take the fall
A E G D BmE D
And something to sabotage determined to lose it all
A D7+ F#m Bm
Critics at their worst could never criticize the way that you do

A D7+ F#m B7
And you do it so casually, too
A E G D
That nothing is good enough for people like you
A E G
Who have to have someone take the fall
A E G D BmE
And something to sabotage determined to lose it all

It doesn't really help that you can never say what you're looking for
A D7+ F#m G
You'll know it when you hear it know it when you see it walk through the door
A D7+ F#m B7
So you say so you've said many times before

That nothing is good enough for people like you
A E G
Who have to have someone take the fall
A E G D BmE
And something to sabotage determined to lose it all
F A C#m F#m DmA
Nothing is good enough
