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]
