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

[Interlude]
Dm  A#  F  C 2x

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

[Solo]
Dm  A#  F  C 2x

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

[Solo]
Dm  A#  F  C 2x

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

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

is the best thing
Dm       A#       F                  C~
                sometimes a lie  ...  is the best thing
Dm       A#       F                C
                                 ...  oh, the best thing
Dm       A#       F                C
                                 ...  is the best thing
