Telling Stories by Tracy Chapman
(I may not have the lyrics right in places. Enjoy!)
Intro: Em Chord (6th and 4th strings)

Em    G           C   G         D
There is fiction in the space between lines on a page, a memory
     G          C      G        D   (Em C G D
Write it down, but it doesn't mean you're not just telling stories   twice)
     G           C   G     D
There is fiction in the space between you and reality
     G       C         G         D
You would do and say anything to make your everyday life seem less
mundane
     G           C   G    D   (Em C G D twice)
There is fiction in the space between you and me.

         G           C   G    D
There's a science fiction in the space between you and me
    G       C    G       D
A fabrication, grand scheme. I am the scary monster
    G           C      G       D
Need to say it as I leave the scene in my spaceship I am laughing
    G         C       G       D
Your remembrance of a bad dream there's no one but you standing.
(repeat Em C G D twice)

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          G           Em
Spread the words and make believe there is truth in the space between.
(Em 4 bars)

     G           C   G    D
There is fiction in the space between you and everybody
G          C       G       D
Give us all what we need. Give us one more sad, sordid story.
    G           C   G       D
In the fiction of the space between sometimes a lie is the best thing
    G    C    G       D  (repeat G C G D)
            sometimes a lie is the best thing
                    is the best thing (repeat)
(finish with Em)
