Lyrics

There is (Em)fic tion in the space be tween the (G)lines on your page of (D6)mem o ries. Write it (Em)down but it does n’t mean you’re (G)not just tell ing sto ries. There is (Em)fic tion in the space be tween you and re (D6)al i ty. You will (Em)do and say an y thing to make your (G)ev ’ry day life seem (D6)less mun dane. There is (Em)fic tion in the space be tween you and me. There’s a sci ence (Em)fic tion in the space be tween you and me, a fab ri (Em)ca tion, a grand scheme where (G)I am the scar y mon ster. I eat the (Em)cit y. As I leave the scene in my (G)space ship, I am laugh (D6)ing. In your re (Em)mem brance of your bad dream, there’s (G)no one but you stand ing. Leave the pit y and the blame for the ones who (G)do not speak. You write the words to get re spect and com pas sion and for pos (Em)ter i ty. You write the words and (Em)make be lieve there is (G)truth in the (D6)space be (Em)tween. There is (Em)fic tion in the space be tween you and (D6)ev ’ry bod y. (Em)Give us all what we need. Give us (G)one more sad sor (D6)did sto ry. In the (Em)fic tion of the space be tween, (G)some times a lie is the best thing. (G)Some times a lie is the best thing. Oh, the best thing, is the best thing.
