Am                      G
  There's a lynching in the square
F                  Dm
  You will have to join us
Am                    G
  Everyone's going to be there
F                  Dm
  We're setting up the truss
F                    G
  Once there were solutions
E/G#                Am  G
  Now we have no excuses
F                    G
  It got lost in confusion
E/G#                      Am   G
  So we're preparing the nooses

    Am7
And oh, we had so much time
Am7
How could we commit the worst crime?

[Verse]
Am              G
  Blame misinformation,
F           Dm
  Misguided leaders
Am               G
  Apathetic hesitation,
F            Dm
  Uneducated readers
F              G
  For whatever reasons
E/G#                    Am     G
  We now find ourselves in this
F                         G
  We are all charged with treason
E/G#                      Am     G
  And there's no one left to hear

[Chorus]
    Am7
And oh, we had so much time
Am7
How could we commit the worst crime?

[Verse]
Am                        G
  We're the judge and the jury
F                  Dm
  The hangman, the convict
Am                  G
  It's too late for fury
F                    Dm
  Our indictment was hand-picked
F                    G
  So step out to the gallows
E/G#              Am      G
  And accept your sentence
F              G
  For being so shallow
E/G#             Am     G
  You must pay a penance

[Chorus]
    Am7
And oh, we had so much time
Am7
How could we commit the worst crime?
    Am7
And oh, we had so much time
Am7
How could we commit the worst crime?
