[Intro]
Gm  Eb  Gm  Eb
 
 
[Verse]
     Gm
The words that I once loved
     Gm
Now drip with unease
      Gm
As I step back and at once
          Gm
See the forest for the trees
 
           Eb
It won?t matter our intentions
      Gm
Our hopes or our plans
      Cm             Eb
What matters is the end result
      F
This book in my hands
 
 
   Cm
No one will know how well we meant
     Gm7         Gm
How much we sacrificed
            Em7     C7
Cause this story?s how we broke
      C
the world
             Gm            B
And couldn?t pay the price
 
 
[Chorus]
   Eb
So I?ll redact and I?ll revise
  B
Recut the truth and redefine the
lies
      Eb
Step back and see our story
              Gm
Through the future?s eyes
      Gb        Ab
An agonizing revision
 F7                Bbm
Made with exact precision
       Gb                 Ab Db
Only alone can I see this vision
  Gb
through
  Db        Gb
Spare the world
     Ab
And then make it back to
Gm
you
 
 
[Verse]
          Gm
I?ve the power to change things
       Gm
And I know I have to try
       Gm
And I called it. I knew it.
          Gm
Now I?ve got to pin down why
 Eb
Put aside your pride, Lucretia
 Gm
Time you stopped pretending
   Eb
A story isn?t good
           Gm
If we all hate the ending
       Cm
I?ve learned that faith is lovely
      B
But never goes as planned
        C
If you want something done
         Eb            F
Take it into your own hand
 
 
[Chorus]
   Eb
So I?ll redact and I?ll revise
  B
Recut the truth and redefine the
lies
      Eb
Step back and see our story
              Gm
Through the future?s eyes
      Gb        Ab
An agonizing revision
 F7                Bbm
Made with exact precision
       Gb                 Ab Db
Only alone can I see this vision
  Gb
through
  Db        Gb
Spare the world
      Ab
And then make it back to
Bbm
you
 
 
[Bridge]
            Gb
They?ll be safe, they?ll be
    Ab
happy
 Fm                Bbm
When the past is redacted
       Gb
Same people and same world
                F7      Bm     Ab
Just with some bits subtracted
            Gb
Give them beaches and sun
        Ab
And a taste of their favorite
  Db   Bbm Ab
things
 Gb            Ab
Give them the world
 
And a chance to sample the
  Db       Bbm    Ab
flavor it brings
 
Give them
  Ebm
crafts and keeps and love
       Db
And a chance to reset
         Gb
All the pain of the past
      Db         Gb
The stories and songs
 
And the choices we?d rather
    F7
forget
 
 
[Chorus]
   Gb
So I?ll redact and I?ll revise
  Db
Recut the truth and redefine the
lies
      Gb
Step back and see our story
             Bbm
Through the future?s eyes
      Gb        Ab
An agonizing revision
 F                Bbm
Made with exact precision
  Ab   Gb                 Ab Db
Only alone can I see this vision
  Gb
through
  Db        Gb
Spare the world
  Db        Gb
Spare the world
     Ab
And then make it back to
Gm
you
