Write it down, but it doesn't mean you're not just telling stories

[Verse]
Bm                              G     D         A
There is fiction in the space between you and reality

to make your everyday life seem less mundane

There is fiction in the space between you and me.

[Verse]
Bm                                       G     D       A
There's a science fiction in the space between you and me
Bm                   G       D              A
A fabrication, grand scheme. I am the scary monster
Bm                           G           D              A
Need to say it as I leave the scene in my spaceship I am laughing

Your remembrance of a bad dream there's no one but you standing.

Feel the pity and the pain for the ones who do not speak

Back the words you get respect and compassion and for posterity

Spread the words and make believe

there is truth in the space between.

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

is the best thing
Bm       G       D                  A~
                sometimes a lie  ...  is the best thing
Bm       G       D                A
