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

[Interlude]
Cm  G#  D#  A# 2x

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

[Solo]
Cm  G#  D#  A# 2x

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

[Solo]
Cm  G#  D#  A# 2x

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

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

is the best thing
Cm       G#       D#                  A#~
                sometimes a lie  ...  is the best thing
Cm       G#       D#                A#
                                 ...  oh, the best thing
Cm       G#       D#                A#
                                 ...  is the best thing
