          A                                E 
Yeah, his words all fake and his promises' empty. 
    A                                         E 
His message is loud, but it ain't meant to be clear. 
   A                                                      E 
He has all the clues that have left his hands stained and dirty, 
                    B7 
And he'll wash them with your tears.
