C  Em  F  G

[Verse 1]
C    Am        F           G
Warm front, we had a ball
C      Am      Dm          G
And we knew we had it good
C       Am        F          G
Cabs to catch and shoes to fall
   Em          F       G
We called it what we could

[Verse 2]
C    Am         F           G
Cold front, the undertow
C    Am       Dm         G
Easy come and easy go
C      Am      F      G        Em     F    G
That's how the story blows for wires on a fence

[Chorus]
       F         C
It's a critical equation
         Am            G
It's the mother of the moon
            F             C
And they're calling for a mixture
         Am       G
A little doom and gloom

[Verse 2]
C     Am     F           G
Storm front, rain will fall
C      Am      Dm         G
In the eye and in the mud
C       Am       F    G
Getting drunk on alcohol
    Em     F       G
Get ready for the flood

[Chorus]
       F         C
It's a sensitive subject
      Am       G
For a criminal mind
       F         C
So I'm taking my number
        Am         G
I'm getting out of line
       F          C
It's a critical equation

[Interlude]
Am  G  F  C  Am  G

[Chorus]
       F         C
It's a critical equation
         Am            G
It's the mother of the moon
            F             C
And they're calling for a mixture
         Am       G
A little doom and gloom

[Outro]
           F         C
But it's a sensitive subject
      Am       G
For a criminal mind
       F         C
So I'm taking my number
    Am             G
I'm getting out of line
       F        C
It's a critical equation
