(I may not have the lyrics right in places. Enjoy!)
Intro: E minorEm Chord (6th and 4th strings)

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

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

Bridge:
D MajorD             C majorC        G+G
Feel the pity and the pain for the ones who do not speak
D MajorD                       C majorC    G+G
Back the words you get respect and compassion and for posterity
C majorC          G+G           E minorEm
Spread the words and make believe there is truth in the space between.
(E minorEm 4 bars)

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