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

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