Em

[Verse 1]
Em              G               C                   Am7
It's so hard to understand just where you're coming from
          Em                G                  C      Am7
To try to see things from a different point of view
Em            G             C                Am7
Trying not to pigeonhole or simply write you off
                 Em             G         C     C
But it's so much simpler if the parody is true
             Am7     G                   F
Yeah it's so easy to believe it's really you


[Chorus]
        G                            Em
But I refuse to buy into this tired narrative
        C                                G
That anyone who doesn't run with me is a fool
        G                             Em
And I believe together we can build a better bridge
               C                                 G
That spans the breadth of stars connecting me to you


[Verse 2]
Em             G            C                 Am7
Sick of towing party lines across the great divide
        Em             G               C      Am7
Sick of human hearts reduced to red or blue
      Em             G                   C                Am7
Still often times my thoughts of you are cardboard cutout lies
             Em             G         C      C
It's so much simpler if the parody is true
             Am7     G                   F
Yeah it's so easy to believe it's really you
             Am7     G                   F
Yeah it's so easy to believe it's really you


[Chorus]
        G                            Em
But I refuse to buy into this tired narrative
        C                                G
That anyone who doesn't run with me is a fool
        G                             Em
And I believe together we can build a better bridge
               C                                 G
That spans the breadth of stars connecting me to you


[Bridge]
         F                 Am7
Why's it so hard to just remember
         F                             Am7
That you have a past, a face, a heart, a name?
         F                 Am7
Oh, it's so hard to just remember, yeah
         F                                 Em   G  C
That we are less different than we are the same
Em  G         C
        But I have to try


[Chorus]
        G                            Em
But I refuse to buy into this tired narrative
        C                                G
That anyone who doesn't run with me is a fool
        G                             Em
And I believe together we can build a better bridge
               C                 Am7             G
That spans the breadth of stars connecting me to you (2x)
