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

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