Em

[Verse 1]
             Em                             C
There is fiction in the space between
      G                                D6/F#
The lines on your page of memories
            Em                           C
Write it down, but it doesn't mean

You're not just telling stories

There is fiction in the space between
G              D6/F#
You and reality
                 Em                  C
You would do and say anything
                      G                           D6/F#
To make your everyday life seem less mundane

You and me

There's a science fiction in the space between
G           D6/F#
You and me
          Em                       C
A fabrication of a grand scheme
          G                    D6/F#
Where I am the scary monster
             Em                              C
I eat the city and as I leave the scene
          G                     D6/F#
In my spaceship I am laughing
               Em                            C

There's no one but you standing

D                                                   C                                          G
You write the words to get respect and compassion and for posterity
C                                    Em                             G                D            Em
You write the words and make believe there is truth in the space between

Give us all what we need
            G                     D6/F#
Give us one more sad, sordid story
          Em                              C
In the fiction of the space between
G                       D6/F# N.C.                    Em C
Sometimes a lie            is the best thing
G                       D6/F# N.C.                    Em C G D6/F#
Sometimes a lie            is the best thing
