Whatever that means

Somebody else's opposing side

On the banks of some great divide, two versions of a dream

D G/B C Bm
Countless revisions of history trying to tell us the future
Am G/B C
Between each commercial break

I wanna call off the calvary
C Bm
Declare no winners or losers
Am G/B C
And forgive our shared mistakes
Am G/B C
They can pick the time and place
Am G/B C
Maybe that will crack the case
