string and D string)


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

Em C G D6/F#  (2x)


[Verse 2]
         Em                  
There is fiction in the space 
    C
between
G         D6/F#
You and reality
          Em            C
You would do and say anything
             G                  
To make your everyday life seem 
D6/F#
less mundane
         Em                  
There is fiction in the space 
    C
between
G       D6/F#
You and me

[Verse 3]
                  Em            
There's a science fiction in the 
         C
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                      
I eat the city and as I leave the 
C
scene
      G              D6/F#
In my spaceship I am laughing
          Em                 C
In your remembrance of a bad dream
        G              D6/F#
There's no one but you standing

[Bridge]
D                            C   
Leave the pity and the blame for 
             G
the ones who do not speak
D                                 
You write the words to get respect
                C          G
 and compassion and for posterity
C                       Em       
You write the words and make 
             G            D       
believe there is truth in the space 
Em
between

         Em                  
There is fiction in the space 
   C
between
G            D6/F#
You and everybody
Em                  C
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.

Sometimes a lie      is the best 
thing

    Em C G D6/F#
Sometimes a lie      is the best

Is the best thing
