You see me as a judge though I deny it

and hold me like a grudge then justify it
      Bm     Em          Am   Am7
But when you take such pains

in searching for something that explains
                   D              Bm7
please take a good look at our remains
                   Am7  F9     G G4 G
'Cause if you were everything you say

things would be different today

and maybe there's room for compromise
    Am               F        Em
but signs that I get say otherwise
A     Am
say anything 


Em    C7M       Em6/C#          F
As hopeless as it seems I wouldn't worry

You'll get your chance to tell your side of the story
     Bm      Em          Am  Am7
And, raising your right hand

whatever defenses you had planned
              D                 Bm7
remember that when you take the stand
             Am7 F9     G G4 G
If you were everything you say

things would be different today

and though I'd be happy to believe
               Am7 F9 Em
I'd have to be much more naive 
Em    A               Am
say anything, 'cause I've heard everything

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

   Bm     Em  Am   Am7
So why do I refuse

the truth, when I clearly cannot use
               D               Bm7
the comfort of one more lame excuse
                   Am7  F9     G G4 G
'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
    Am7  F9 Em
get it over with
Em    A               Am
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
