Selling The News chords by Switchfoot

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--|Em
Welcome to the Holy City; the silver screen
             G
Built with a lens and a low self esteem
  C
A teenager's plea for meaning and means
      B
We're selling the news

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


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


     Em
See, all men are equal; all is for sale
  G
A powerful dog has been chasing his tail
    C
The lowest common denominator prevails
      B
We're selling the news


CHORUS:
  Em
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
    G
But everything here's in-between
    C                    B
The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction


  Em
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
    G
But everything here's in-between
    C
The fact is fiction,
   B
Suspicion is the new religion
                                                    |As intelude I play these chords, too. But you can

VERSE:
 Em
America listens as the story is told
         G
With the eye on the truth as the story unfolds
        C
But the ratings determine the story was sold
      B
We're selling the news


    Em
Begging the question, mongering fears
   G
Stroking the eyes and tickling ears
    C
The truth is seldom just as it appears
      B
We're selling the news



CHORUS

      Em               G
I can see your talking heads
       C          B
On the television set
       Em            G
On the Internet they said
    C
The fact is fiction

   B
Suspicion is the new religion

INTERLUDE...

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You've been replaced by the masters of spin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


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


     Em
When nothing is sacred, there's nothing to lose
     G
When nothing is sacred, all is consumed
      C
We're still on the air, it must be the truth
      B
We're selling the news


LAST CHORUS:

  Em
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
    G
But everything here's in-between
    C                    B
The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction


  Em
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
    G
But everything here's in-between
    C                    B
The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction


  Em
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
    G
But everything I see is greed
    C
The fact is fiction
  B
Suspicion is the new religion




I end on Em.
