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

[Interlude]
A#m  F#  C#  G# 2x

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

[Solo]
A#m  F#  C#  G# 2x

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

[Solo]
A#m  F#  C#  G# 2x

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

[Interlude]

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

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