Tracy Chapman - Telling stories

^EmThere is fiction in the space b^Cetween^G lines on a page, a^D memory Em C G D (Em C G D Write it down, but it doesn't mean you're not just telling stories twice) There is ^Emfiction in the space bet^Cween y^Gou and rea^Dlity You would ^Emdo and say anyt^Ching to make your e^Gveryday life seem l^Dess mundane Em C G D ( Em C G D twice ) There is fiction in the space between you and me.

There's a science ^Emfiction in the space bet^Cween y^Gou and m^De A fabri^Emcation, grand s^Ccheme. I^G am the scary m^Donster Need to ^Emsay it as I leave the s^Ccene in my s^Gpaceship I am l^Daughing Your re^Emmembrance of a bad d^Cream there's n^Go one but you s^Dtanding. ( repeat Em C G D twice )

^DFeel the pity and the pain ^Cfor the ones who ^Gdo not speak ^DBack the words you get respect and compassion ^Cand for ^Gposterity ^CSpread the words and ^Gmake believe there is ^Emtruth in the space between. (Em 4 bars)

There is ^Emfiction in the space bet^Cween y^Gou and e^Dverybody ^EmGive us all what we n^Ceed. Give us o^Gne more sad, s^Dordid story. In the ^Emfiction of the space bet^Cween s^Gometimes a lie ^Dis the best thing Em C G D (repeat G C G D) sometimes a lie is the best thing is the best thing (repeat) (finish with Em)
