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

[Interlude]
Am  F  C  G 2x

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

[Solo]
Am  F  C  G 2x

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

[Solo]
Am  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                    Am
Spread the words and make believe
      C          G           Am
there is truth in the space between.

[Interlude]
 Am

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

is the best thing
Am       F       C                  G~
                sometimes a lie  ...  is the best thing
Am       F       C                G
                                 ...  oh, the best thing
Am       F       C                G
                                 ...  is the best thing
