[Verse]
A#/D D#
I will do your interview
A#/D D#
Try to explain what I'm going through
A#/D D# F Gm
Give you something to read into in a million different ways
A#/D D# A#/D D#
F sick version of telephone starts at the clip of the microphone
A#/D D# F Gm
F game we thought we had all outgrown, but still everybody plays
[Chorus]
F A#/D D# Dm
Ignoring all of the remedies, believing all of the rumors
Cm A#/D D#
With their endless database
F A#/D D# Dm
I wanna sit with my enemies and say, "we should have done this sooner"
Cm A#/D D#
While I look them in the face
Cm A#/D D#
Maybe that will crack the case
[Verse]
A#/D D# A#/D D#
I got a friend who's been thinking 'bout finally kicking her husband out
A#/D D# F Gm
His second life as a talent scout, finally got him caught
A#/D D# A#/D D#
While she was throwing out all his clothes she heard a voice from beyond the throes
A#/D D# F Gm
"Punish him for the life he chose, but forgive the past that he did not."
[Chorus]
F A#/D D# Dm
It's really hard to hate anyone once you know what they've lived through
Cm A#/D D#
And once they've given you a taste
F A#/D D# Dm
She said, "This is for you to overcome, but I will always love you,"
Cm A#/D D#
In her perfect state of grace
Cm A#/D D#
Maybe that will crack the case
[Refrain]

[Verse]
A#/D D#
Now that we're through with formalities
A#/D D#
What is it you want to ask of me?
A#/D D#
I'll answer open and honestly
F Gm
Whatever that means
A#/D D#
Finding out that we occupy
A#/D D#
Somebody else's opposing side
A#/D D# F Gm
On the banks of some great divide, two versions of a dream
[Chorus]
F A#/D D# Dm
Countless revisions of history trying to tell us the future
Cm A#/D D#
Between each commercial break
F A#/D
I wanna call off the calvary
D# Dm
Declare no winners or losers
Cm A#/D D#
And forgive our shared mistakes
Cm A#/D D#
They can pick the time and place
Cm A#/D D#
Maybe that will crack the case
