A sick version of telephone starts at the clip of the microphone

A game we thought we had all outgrown, but still everybody plays

[Chorus]

A D/F# G F#m

Ignoring all of the remedies, believing all of the rumors

Em D/F# G

With their endless database

Em D/F# G

Maybe that will crack the case

D/F# G D/F# G

I got a friend who's been thinking 'bout finally kicking her husband out

While she was throwing out all his clothes she heard a voice from beyond the throes

D/F# G A Bm

"Punish him for the life he chose, but forgive the past that he did not."

[Chorus]

A D/F# G F#m

It's really hard to hate anyone once you know what they've lived through

Somebody else's opposing side

On the banks of some great divide, two versions of a dream

[Chorus]

A D/F# G F#m

Countless revisions of history trying to tell us the future

Between each commercial break

A D/F#

I wanna call off the calvary

Em D/F# G

And forgive our shared mistakes

Maybe that will crack the case
