LYRICS:

D A D F#

F# F#7 F# F#7
I believe we're crossing a great ravine

F# E
still yearning, half-way a stranger

F# F#7 F# F#7
I believe in our multiplicity

F# E
still part-blind, no reason for anger

A D G
so why don't you tell me

A D G
why don't you tell me

A F# E B F# F#m
why don't you tell me the truth about you

D A D F#

F# F#7 F# F#7
tyranny crushing the young bird's seed

F# E
hallowe'en's mate short fuse of the banker

F# F#7 F# F#7
I can see vaseline, you smeared it across every scene

F# E
the anchorman drowns in a sea of sensation

F#
I thought myself wise through all of these hopeless times

E
but I told myself, told myself, you've got to hold on

A D G
so why don't you tell me

A D G
why don't you tell me

A F# E B F# F#m
why don't you tell me the truth about you

A D G
why don't you tell me

A D G
why don't you tell me

A F# E B F# F#m
why don't you tell me the truth about you


D A D A
about you, about you

[D A until end]
