Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)
JASE]
C
For the record, this is self-destructive
C
For the record, I'm aware of that
G
For the record, I've been picturing her body
F
Draped over the sofa wearing nothing but her hat
C
For the record
(Jase sighs)
(spoken)
I'm screwed
(sung)
C
For the record, this can still go my way
C
For the record, I can keep my pride
G
All I have to do is keep us focused on the questions
F N.C
Each one of her responses will remind me how she lied
C
That's the answer
C
That's what I'll do
C C
I'll use the 36, 36, 36, 36 questions
C
As a lifeline
G F
And of course I'll have sympathy
C G
For the pathological liar who did this to me
F
And yes, I admit
Dm
I wish I could touch her
G F
But the questions will make one thing clear
C. G F C
There's nothing left of my old life to spare
C G F
No matter how much I may…
C
JUDITH, spoken:
Ta-da!
JASE, spoken:
What's up?
JUDITH, spoken:
What do you think?
JASE, spoken:
About what?
JUDITH, spoken:
My jersey. Go SeaWolves!
JASE, spoken:
Yeah… huh… go SeaWolves. Anyway
(Silverware clinking)
I was just, huh… setting the table here
JUDITH, spoken:
Oh
JASE, spoken:
I don't know why I did that. That's… weird
JUDITH, spoken:
It makes perfect sense to me. It's kinda like a weird first date.
Which is really why we ought to have more booze
JASE, spoken:
I have whiskey. But, hmm… did you… did you want wine?
JUDITH, spoken:
Do you have wine?
JASE, spoken:
Yeah. The glass shattered on the chiller last night but I think the reds are okay.
I'll just… hmm… yeah, I'll get ‘em. I'll be right back. Stay with Judith, Henry
(Henry, the duck, quacks)
JUDITH, spoken:
Hey, Henry. I can't imagine all the horrible stuff you've heard about me. Well, it's all true.
But you don't seem like the kind of duck who holds a grudge
(She pops open a bottle)
You're not a whiskey drinker, are you? No… you keep your wits about you. I like that
(sung)
C
For the record, I did not expect this
C
I really thought that it would be a harder sell
G
I came up with this plan at 4 a.m. on Interstate 10
F
How was I to know that it would work so well?
C
For the record
C
I haven't thought a lot about the way I'll answer
C
I guess I'm still afraid that I might lie
G
If only I could make him see, if I was given the choice
F
Of telling him the truth or sticking knives into my eyes
C
I'd pick the knives
C
But I'll survive
C C
I'll treat the 36, 36, 36, 36 questions
C
As a passtime
C C
36, 36, 36, 36 questions
C
Just like last time
G F
And maybe it's wrong to say
C G. F C
But his defense and distance will not sway
G F C
Me from believing this is possible
G F
If he didn't love me anymore
C. G F C
Then why the hell did he open the front door?
G. F
I think it's a sign that he–
JASE, spoken:
Hey
JUDITH, spoken:
What's up?!
JASE, spoken:
Huh… there's a good chance that this wine is terrible
JUDITH, spoken:
Huh… I– I'd settle for drinkable
JASE, spoken:
I make no promises. Oh, you lit candles
JUDITH, spoken:
Yeah, I thought it would help set the mood
JASE, spoken:
What's "the mood"?
JUDITH, spoken:
Hmm… hopeful?
(sung)
G. F
Just like our first date
C
When we sat on your carpet
C
Drank two bottles of wine
JASE:
G. F
This is different
C
Two years have gone by
C
My whole life was a lie
BOTH:
G F C
But there's something that feels so familiar
C
We've been here before
JASE:
G F
Staring at each other
JUDITH:
G F
Suddenly caring for each other
BOTH:
C
Moving on to
C
Question 2
JASE, spoken:
"Would you like to be famous? In what way?"
JUDITH:
C C
We're asking 36, 36, 36, 36 questions
C
To each other
JASE:
C
Tonight's 36 reasons why you and I cannot be
Healthy for each other
BOTH:
C C
We're asking 36, 36, 36, 36 questions
Tonight
C C
36, 36, 36, 36 questions
For the second time
C C
36, 36, 36, 36 questions
For the last time
C C
36, 36, 36, 36 questions
For the last time
C C
36, 36, 36, 36 questions
For the last time
C C
36, 36, 36, 36 questions
For the last time
C C
36, 36, 36, 36
This will be the last thing
