[Verse 1]
C
Dumbfounded, downtrodden and dejected
D/F#
Crestfallen, grief-stricken and exhausted
G
Trapped in my room while the house was burning
Am                             D
To the motherfucking ground

C
I saw the sign but it was misleading
D/F#
I fought the law, but the law was cheating
G
Screaming for help, but somebody keeps on
Am                            D
Telling me to settle down

[Chorus]
F         G       F       G      C
Please be honest, tell me was it you?

[Verse 2]
C
Clerk at the midwestern service station
D/F#
Striped uniform, giggling at catch phrases
G                      E
Look in her eyes we're up to something
Am                          D
Oh, it doesn't matter now

C
Man in a crossover with his family
D/F#
Sketched in decals on the window smiling
G                       E
Driving parallel in the lane beside me
Am                        D
Oh, it doesn't matter now

[Chorus]
F             G       F       G      C
But please be honest, tell me was it you?
F       G         F      G       D
I won't hate you, I just need to know
F         G       F       G      C
Please be honest, tell me was it you?

[Bridge]
F
At first he thought it was the undertow
D
But he was dragged to the bottom of the lake
F
By a couple of kids saying, "it's a joke"
D
Though he didn't know any of their names
F
As they held him down, the crowd got loud
D
And they cheered when they thought he had escaped
F
When the anchor needed something for the 10 o'clock
D
What could they say? Oh what else could they say?
G                                           C
They said "Well, you promised us the stars, and now we're tired and bored"
G                                           C
"Well, you promised us the stars, and now we're tired and bored"
G                                           C
"Well, you promised us the stars, and now we're tired and bored"
G
"Well, you promised us the stars"
C
And now we're tired and bored and tired and bored
F
and tired and bored and tired and bored
C
and tired and bored and tired and bored
F
and tired and bored and tired and bored
C
and tired and bored and tired and bored
F
and tired and bored and tired and bored
C
and tired and bored and tired and bored
F
and tired and bored and tired and bored
