Telling Stories piano leadsheet with chords

There is fiction in the space between

the lines on your page of memories.

Write it down but it doesn't mean

you're not just telling stories.

There is fiction in the space between

you and reality.

You will do and say anything

to make your ev'ryday life seem less mundane.

There is fiction in the space between

you and me.

There's a science fiction in the space between

you and me,

a fabrication, a grand scheme

where I am the scary monster.

I eat the city.

As I leave the scene

in my spaceship, I am laughing.

In your remembrance of your bad dream,

there's no one but you standing.

Leave the pity and the blame

for the ones who do not speak.

You write the words to get respect and compassion and for posterity.

You write the words and make believe there is truth in the space between.

There is fiction in the space between

you and ev'rybody.

Give us all what we need.

Give us one more sad sordid story.

In the fiction of the space between,

sometimes a lie

is the best thing.

Sometimes a lie

is the best thing.

Oh, the best thing,

is the best thing.
