You see me as a judge though I deny it

and hold me like a grudge then justify it
      B5     E5          A5   A5
But when you take such pains

in searching for something that explains
                   D5              B5
please take a good look at our remains
                   A5  F5     G5 G5 G5
'Cause if you were everything you say

things would be different today

and maybe there's room for compromise
    A5               F5        E5
but signs that I get say otherwise
A5     A5
say anything

As hopeless as it seems I wouldn't worry

You'll get your chance to tell your side of the story
     B5      E5          A5  A5
And, raising your right hand

whatever defenses you had planned
              D5                 B5
remember that when you take the stand
             A5 F5     G5 G5 G5
If you were everything you say

things would be different today

and though I'd be happy to believe
               A5 F5 E5
I'd have to be much more naive 
E5    A5               A5
say anything, 'cause I've heard everything

now I've heard everything now I've heard everything

So why do I refuse

the truth, when I clearly cannot use
               D5               B5
the comfort of one more lame excuse
                   A5  F5     G5 G5 G5
'cause if you were everything you say

things would be different today

and if you were everything you swear

we wouldn't be beyond repair

If you were everything you say

things would be different today

and if there has got to be an if
    A5  F5 E5
get it over with
E5    A5               A5
say anything, 'cause I've heard everything

now I've heard everything I've heard everything

now I've heard everything now I've heard everything
