[Verse 1] [Jase]
Cm                    Bb
For the record, this is self-destructive

Cm                 Bb
For the record, I'm aware of that

Cm                      Bb
For the record, I've been picturing her body
N.C. Draped over the sofa wearing nothing but her hat
        Cm
For the record

Bb         Cm       Bb
(spoken)
I'm screwed
Cm                     Bb
(sung)
For the record, this can still go my way
Cm                  Bb
For the record, I can keep my pride

Cm                        Bb
All I have to do is keep us focused on the questions
N.C. Each one of her responses will remind me how she lied
          Cm     Bb
That's the answer

                Cm     Bb
That's what I'll do
[Chorus]
            C C/Bb  C Bb
I'll use the 36, 36, 36, 36 questions

     Bb/G
As a lifeline

Ab                 Bb
And of course I have sympathy

C                                      Ab
For the pathological liar who did this to me

               Bb
And yes, I admit

                    C     C/Bb
I wish I could touch her

        Ab                          Bb
But the questions will make one thing clear

        C                            Ab
There's nothing left of my old life to spare

             Bb
No matter how much I may...
(Alternate between C5 and Bb5) [Dialogue] [Verse 2] [Judith]
Cm            N.C.
For the record, I did not expect this

Cm                          Bb
I really thought that it would be a harder sell

 Cm                          Bb
I came up with this plan at 4 a.m. on Interstate 10

Cm                            Bb
How was I to know that it would work so well?

       Cm     Bb
For the record

Cm                    Bb
I haven't thought a lot about the way I'll answer

Cm                        Bb
I guess I'm still afraid that I might lie

  Cm                          Bb
If only I could make him see, if I was given the choice

  Cm                              Bb
Of telling him the truth or sticking knives into my eyes

            Cm      Bb
I'd pick the knives

            Cm      Bb
But I'll survive
[Chorus]
              C C/Bb  C Bb
I'll treat the 36, 36, 36, 36 questions

     Bb/G
As a passtime

C C/Bb C Bb
36, 36, 36, 36 questions

          Bb/G
Just like last time

Ab          Bb
And maybe it's wrong to say

    C                              Ab
But his defense and distance will not sway

          Bb            C      C/E
Me from believing this is possible

      Ab              Bb
If he didn't love me anymore

    C                                 Ab

             C    Cadd9

My whole life was a lie
