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

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