      Dm
The D.A. is dressed to the nines
        A#                           G
In the mirror, he practices all his lines
        Dm
To his closing argument, twelve hearts beat in favor
     A#                        G
I'm guessing that he read the morning paper
     Dm
The headline reads "The man hangs"
        A#
But the jury doesn't

     Dm                       F
And everyone's looking for relief
 Dm                        F
United States versus disbelief
Dm                                       G F
Mothers cast tears on both sides of the aisle
Dm                              F
Clear your throat and face the world
    Dm                                         F
The verdict falls like bachelors for bad luck girls
Dm                                G F
Only breathing with the aid of denial

Chorus:
     A#           F
Case open, case shut
               Gm                    A#    F
But you could pay to close it like a casket
     A#                           F
Baby boy can't lift his headache head
Gm          A#
Isn't it tragic?

He glances at his peers sitting seven to twelve stacked
On one to six, the gallery is hushed...
Boys in three pieces dream of grandstanding and bravado
The city sleeps in a cell, notwithstanding what we all know
Hang on a rope or bated breath
Whichever you prefer

And everyone's looking for relief
A bidding war for an old flame's grief
The cause, the kid, the course, the charm, and the curse
Not a word that could make you comprehend
Too well dressed for the witness stand
The press prays for whichever headline's worse

Chorus

Gm                      F
Fresh pressed suit and tie
A#                          C
Unimpressed birds sing and die
Dm                     C
Can talk my way out of anything
    Gm
The foreman reads the verdict
          A#                        Dm
"In the above entitled actions, we find the defendant..."
C
Guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty

Chorus - x2
