[Verse 1]
D*
I thought I'd never see such an anomaly
D*
But on the acetate it's happening again
D*
Found all she'd ever need: bright armor, noble steed
D*
And he's looking back at me like a Santa Ana Wind


[Chorus]
F G              F G                    F G
   I've been tired  and I've been tried
                         F         D*
I've been through this cross-eyed love
F G              F G              F G
  And I'm falling,  hard breathing
         F         D*
Into the television
            A7
We may not know the hour it comes to pass
   C B A     G         F     D*
But    we'll know when it's done


[Verse 2]
D*
Two sounds metallically thrumming in harmony
D*
Just adding scenery to this theater in the round
D*
It's all apparently a photo opportunity
D*
It seemed like curtain call, but the lights are going down


[Chorus]
F G              F G                    F G
   I've been tired  and I've been tried
                         F         D*
I've been through this cross-eyed love
F G              F G              F G
  And I'm falling,  hard breathing
         F         D*
Into the television
            A7
We may not know the hour it comes to pass
   C B A     G         F     D*
But    we'll know when it's done


[Verse 3]
D
We really thought that we could mend society
D
Undo the apple tree or just build a better snake
D
And as for being loved, it's not what you're thinking of
D
More like a falling dream when you're just about to wake


[Verse 4]
D*
So no use in suing me for abstract imagery
D*
I swear I saw it all just once upon a time
D*
So when I pontificate I hope that you relate
D*
Sometimes I worry I'm alone in my own mind

[Chorus]
F G              F G                    F G
   I've been tired  and I've been tried
                         F         D*
I've been through this cross-eyed love
F G              F G              F G
  And I'm falling,  hard breathing
         F         D*
Into the television
            A7                             C B A G F
We may not know the hour it comes to pass but
            A7                             C B A G F
We may not know the hour it comes to pass but
            A7
We may not know the hour it comes to pass
   C B A     G
But    we'll know when it's done
