Belle & Sebastian - Storytelling

^GPicture a scene in your mind^Bm Look at all the ^Cpeople and take n^Aote of the setting behind^{D C}Listen, wa^Bmtch, and w^Amait, a plot be^Dgins to take shape ^GThere's a story and the^Bmn, characters will ^Ccome to you ^ARelating events as the^Dy choose to But ^Call their ^Bmwords and ^Amactions come en^Dtirely from you^G

If you're a s^Gtoryteller you ^Bmmight think you're withou^Ct responsi^D#bility And you can ^Glead your characters ^Bmanywhere you want^C, you have im^D#munity

^GHave you considered the wa^Bmy People might re^Cact to all the ^Athings that your characters ^Dsay? And are their ^Cactions ha^Bmnd in ha^Amnd with what you ^Dwant to portray? Are you ^Gsick? Are you crippled? In^Bmsane? Ex^Cpressing the de^Asires that daren't speak thei^Dr name? ^CAre y^Bmou the o^Amne to be ^Dblamed?

Now you're a s^Gtoryteller you ^Bmmight think you're withou^Ct responsi^D#bility But in di^Grections, actions and ^Bmwords, cause and effect^C, you need con^D#sistency

^GHow can you finish the tal^Bme? Lives which have ^Cplayed a part Are ^Asummarized from the ^Dvery start And ^Cepisode^Bms left ou^Amt to make it ^Dall go your way ^G"It's a might^Bm big world ^CSome of it I've s^Aeen But mostly I^D've only heard And s^Ctories ar^Bme all fi^Amction from their ^Dmoment of ^Gbirth"

You're just a s^Gtoryteller, you're not^Bm trying to escap^Ce responsi^D#bility If we be^Glieve you then you're suc^Bmcessful but you don't^C make claims of ^D#verity
