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

[Interlude]
G#m  E  B  F# 2x

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

[Solo]
G#m  E  B  F# 2x

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

[Solo]
G#m  E  B  F# 2x

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

[Interlude]

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

is the best thing
G#m       E       B                  F#~
                sometimes a lie  ...  is the best thing
G#m       E       B                F#
                                 ...  oh, the best thing
G#m       E       B                F#
                                 ...  is the best thing
