Harshest Critic

Em C G

[Verse 1]

D
Late Night
Em
TV makes me daydream on this
C
lame night
                 D               Am
What if all my fears were on display
          Em
Right In front of all the world
         C
Under a spotlight
                    D
Would they still be on my side?

G
After all the curtains close
         D
they’ll leave their seats and drive on home
      Em                              C
they might not know a single word I said
       G
If the highlight reel is on repeat
     D
And only on repeat for me
 Em                         C
could I say I’d do it all again?

[Chorus]

             G
If I’m being honest
       D             Em
Don’t know if i can tell you
          C               G       D
Whose the harshest critic in the room
         C              G
It could be the studio audience
                   D            Em
But they’re just payin for admission
     C               G              D
And I’m the one with everything to lose
Em                   C            G
Who’s the harshest critic in the room

[Verse 2]

      D
I’m terrified
G      Em                              C
of the way I look when it’s through strangers eyes
 D
Wish I had a way to peek inside their minds
         Em                              C
But it wouldn’t fix the problems I see through mine
      D
It’s just how I’m wired
  G
after all the curtains close
          D
they’ll leave their seats and drive on home
      Em                             C
they might not know a single word i said
       G
if the highlight reel is on repeat
     D
And only on repeat for me
Em                          C
could I say I’d do it all again?

[Chorus]
             G
If I’m being honest
       D             Em
Don’t know if i can tell you
          C               G       D
Whose the harshest critic in the room
         C              G
It could be the studio audience
                   D            Em
But they’re just payin for admission
     C               G              D
And I’m the one with everything to lose
Em        G         C             G
Who’s the harshest critic in the room

[Bridge]

G      D
Ooooo, oh
Em                      C
Why is being good to myself
             D
For someone else
          Em                      C
Ooooo, oh why is being good to myself
             D
For someone else

[Chorus]

C             G
If I’m being honest
       D             Em
Don’t know if i can tell you
          C               G       D
Whose the harshest critic in the room
         C              G
It could be the studio audience
                   D            Em
But they’re just payin for admission
     C               G              D
And I’m the one with everything to lose
Em        G        D             G
Who’s the harshest critic in the room
Em        G        D             G
Who’s the harshest critic in the room
Em        G        C             G
Who’s the harshest critic in the room
