G G
There's a voice on the phone
G G
Telling what had happened
Bm Bm
Some kind of confusion
D7 D7
More like a disaster
G G
And it wondered how you
G G
Were left unaffected
Bm Bm
But you had no knowledge
D7 D7
No, the chemicals covered you
G G
And so a jury was formed
G G
As more liquor was poured
Bm Bm
No need for conviction
D7 D7
They're not thirsting for justice
G G
But slept with the lies
G G
I keep inside my head
Bm Bm
I found out I was guilty
D7 D7
I found out I was guilty
G G
But I won't be around
G G
For the sentencing
Bm Bm
Because I'm leaving
D7 D7
Oh, on the next airplane

C C D D G G Bm Bm
And though I know that my actions are impossible to justify
C C D D G G
They seem adequate to fill up my time
C C D D Bm Bm Em Em
And if I could talk to myself like I was someone else
C C D D G G Bm Bm Em Em
Then maybe I could take your advice
C C D D G G
And I wouldn't act like such an asshole all the time

G G
There's a film on the wall
G G
Makes the people look small
Bm Bm
Who are sitting beside it
D7 D7
All consumed in the drama
G G
They must return to their lives
G G
Once the hero has died
Bm Bm
They will drive to the office
D7 D7
Stopping somewhere for coffee
G G
Where the folk singers, poets,
G G
and playwrights convene
Bm Bm
Dispensing their wisdom
D7 D7
Oh, dear amateur orator
G G
They will detail their pain
G G
In some standard refrain
Bm Bm
They will recite their sadness
D7 D7
Like it's some kind of contest

F# F#
Well, if it is
Bm Bm
I think I am winning it
G G
All beaming with confidence
Asus2 Asus2
As I make my final lap
F# F#
The gold medal gleams
Bm Bm
So hang it around my neck
G G
Because I am deserving it
Asus2 Asus2
The champion of idiots

C C D D G G Bm Bm
But a kid carries his walkman on that long bus ride to Omaha
C C D D G G
I know a girl who cries when she practices violin
C C D D Bm Bm Em Em
Because each note sounds so pure, it just cuts into her
C C D D G G Bm Bm Em Em
And then the melody comes pouring out her eyes
C C D D G G
Now to me, everything else, it just sounds like a lie.
