Chords by: SchrobZen
Artist: Switchfoot
Song: Selling The News

This is not what they play.
But I think it's a good way to play the song using chords.
I got the chords from hearing and playing along...
So please if you think there's something wrong let me know!

Have fun playing it.

VERSE:
|--just-mute-strumming--|E minorEm
Welcome to the Holy City; the silver screen
       G+G
Built with a lens and a low self esteem
 C majorC
A augmentedA teenager's plea for meaning and means
   BB
We're selling the news

   E minorEm
See, opinions are easier to swallow than facts
  G+G
The greys instead of the whites and the blacks
    C majorC
If you shoot it too straight it won't come back
   BB
We're selling the news

   E minorEm
See, money speaks volumes louder than words
  G+G
And virtues with wings, maybe not quite at first
  C majorC
But salaries are paid by the ads not the verbs
   BB
We're selling the news


   E minorEm
See, all men are equal; all is for sale
 G+G
A augmentedA powerful dog has been chasing his tail
  C majorC
The lowest common denominator prevails
   BB
We're selling the news

CHORUS:
 E minorEm
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
  G+G
But everything here's in-between
  C majorC          BB
The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction


 E minorEm
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
  G+G
But everything here's in-between
  C majorC
The fact is fiction,
  BB
Suspicion is the new religion
                          |As intelude I play these chords, too. But you can
INTERLUDE                      |also think of your own way to go from the chorus to the
                          |verse.
VERSE:
 E minorEm
America listens as the story is told
     G+G
With the eye on the truth as the story unfolds
    C majorC
But the ratings determine the story was sold
   BB
We're selling the news


  E minorEm
Begging the question, mongering fears
  G+G
Stroking the eyes and tickling ears
  C majorC
The truth is seldom just as it appears
   BB
We're selling the news


CHORUS

   E minorEm        G+G
I can see your talking heads
    C majorC     BB
On the television set
    E minorEm      G+G
On the Internet they said
  C majorC
The fact is fiction

  BB
Suspicion is the new religion

INTERLUDE...

VERSE:
 E minorEm
Substance, oh, substance, where have you been?
    G+G
You've been replaced by the masters of spin
     C majorC
Who make good looking books and write history in
   BB
We're selling the news


  E minorEm
The lines start to blur; I get so confused
   G+G
I get shiny new models mixed up with the blues
   C majorC
I get binary code mixed up with abuse
  BB
The facts are simply one option to choose


   E minorEm
When nothing is sacred, there's nothing to lose
   G+G
When nothing is sacred, all is consumed
   C majorC
We're still on the air, it must be the truth
   BB
We're selling the news


LAST CHORUS:

 E minorEm
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
  G+G
But everything here's in-between
  C majorC          BB
The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction


 E minorEm
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
  G+G
But everything here's in-between
  C majorC          BB
The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction


 E minorEm
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
  G+G
But everything I see is greed
  C majorC
The fact is fiction
 BB
Suspicion is the new religion



I end on Em.
