Tracy Chapman

INTRO: Em   (alternately double pick/strum E string and D string)
 
         Em                     C     
There is fiction in the space between 
    G                     D6/F#
The lines on your page of memories
         Em                   C
Write it down, but it doesn't mean
       G                D6/F#   
You're not just telling stories
 
   Em C G D6/F#  (2x)
 
 
         Em                      C     
There is fiction in the space between
G         D6/F#
You and reality
          Em            C    
You would do and say anything
             G                  D6/F#
To make your everyday life seem less mundane
         Em                      C    
There is fiction in the space between
G       D6/F#
You and me
 
   Em C G D6/F#  (2x)
 
 
                  Em                     C
There's a science fiction in the space between
G       D6/F#
You and me
       Em              C      
A fabrication, a grand scheme
G              D6/F#
I am the scary monster
        Em                    C      
Need to say it as I leave the scene
      G              D6/F#
In my spaceship I am laughing
       Em                 C       
Your remembrance of a bad dream
        G              D6/F#
There's no one but you standing
 
   Em C G D6/F#  (2x)
 
 
BRIDGE:
D                          C                G
Feel the pity and the pain for the ones who do not speak
D                                             C          G
Back the words you get respect and compassion and for posterity
C                    Em                    G            D       Em
Spread the words and make believe there is truth in the space between
 
        Em (same style as Intro)
 
 
         Em                     C
There is fiction in the space between
G            D6/F#
You and everybody
Em                  C 
Give us all what we need
        G             D6/F#
Give us one more sad, sordid story
       Em                     C
In the fiction of the space between
G              D6/F# N.C.               Em   C
Sometimes a lie      is the best thing
G              D6/F# N.C.               Em C G D6/F#
Sometimes a lie      is the best thing
               Em C G D6/F#
Oh, best thing

Is the best thing
