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

[Interlude]
C#m  A  E  B 2x

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

[Solo]
C#m  A  E  B 2x

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

[Solo]
C#m  A  E  B 2x

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

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

is the best thing
C#m       A       E                  B~
                sometimes a lie  ...  is the best thing
C#m       A       E                B
                                 ...  oh, the best thing
C#m       A       E                B
                                 ...  is the best thing
