[Verse]
D#m                              B     F#                  C#
There is fiction in the space between lines on a page, a memory
D#m                            B           F#                C#
Write it down, but it doesn't mean you're not just telling stories

[Interlude]
D#m  B  F#  C# 2x

[Verse]
D#m                              B     F#         C#
There is fiction in the space between you and reality
D#m                     B
You would do and say anything
            F#                  C#
to make your everyday life seem less mundane
D#m                             B     F#       C#
There is fiction in the space between you and me.

[Solo]
D#m  B  F#  C# 2x

[Verse]
D#m                                       B     F#       C#
There's a science fiction in the space between you and me
D#m                   B       F#              C#
A fabrication, grand scheme. I am the scary monster
D#m                           B           F#              C#
Need to say it as I leave the scene in my spaceship I am laughing
D#m                        B             F#              C#
Your remembrance of a bad dream there's no one but you standing.

[Solo]
D#m  B  F#  C# 2x

[Bridge]
C#                           B               F#
Feel the pity and the pain for the ones who do not speak
C#                                        B            F#
Back the words you get respect and compassion and for posterity
B                    D#m
Spread the words and make believe
      F#          C#           D#m
there is truth in the space between.

[Interlude]

[Verse]
D#m                               B     F#       C#
There is fiction in the space between you and everybody
D#m                 B             F#                C#
Give us all what we need. Give us one more sad, sordid story.
D#m                            B     F#                   C#~
In the fiction of the space between sometimes a lie

is the best thing
D#m       B       F#                  C#~
                sometimes a lie  ...  is the best thing
D#m       B       F#                C#
                                 ...  oh, the best thing
D#m       B       F#                C#
                                 ...  is the best thing
