LYRICS:
[D] [A] [D] [F#]
[F#]I believe[F#7] we're [F#]crossing a great ravine[F#7]
F# e
still yearning, half-way a stranger
[F#]I believe[F#7] in [F#]our multiplicity[F#7]
F# e
still part-blind, no reason for anger
[A]so why don't you [D]tell [G]me
[A]why don't you [D]tell [G]me
A F# e B F# F#m
why don't you tell me the truth about you
[D] [A] [D] [F#]
[F#]tyranny[F#7] [F#]crushing the young bird's seed[F#7]
F# e
hallowe'en's mate short fuse of the banker
I can see [F#]vaseline,[F#7] you [F#]smeared it across every scene[F#7]
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]so why don't you [D]tell [G]me
[A]why don't you [D]tell [G]me
A F# e B F# F#m
why don't you tell me the truth about you
[A]why don't you [D]tell [G]me
[A]why don't you [D]tell [G]me
A F# e B F# F#m
why don't you tell me the truth about you
[D] [A]about you, [D] [A]about you
(D A until end)
