Verse 1:
        Bm
Lost my shape, trying to act casual
      Bm
Can't stop, I might end up in the hospital

Changing my shape, I feel like an accident

They're back to explain their experience

Chorus:
         Bm
Isn't it weird? Looks too obscure to me

Wasting away, that was the policy

             Bm
I'm ready to leave, I push the fact in front of me

Facts lost, facts are never what they seem to be
                Bm
There's nothing there, no information left of any kind
              Bm
Li-lifting my head, lo-lo-looking for the danger signs


Chorus:
            Bm
There was a line, there was a formula
           Bm
Sharp as a knife, facts cut a hole in us

There was a line, there was a formula
           Bm
Sharp as a knife, facts cut a hole in us

              Bm
The island of doubt, it's like a taste of medicine
           Bm
Working by hindsight, got the message from the oxygen
             Bm
M-m-making a list, find the cost of opportunity
         Bm
Doing it right, facts are useful in emergencies

              Bm
The feeling returns, whenever we close our eyes
           Bm
Lifting my head, looking around inside


Verse 4:
Bm
Facts are simple and facts are straight
Bm
Facts aren't lazy and facts aren't lame
Bm
Facts don't come with points of view
Bm
Facts don't do what I want them to
Bm
Facts just twist the truth around
Bm
Facts are living turned inside out
Bm
Facts are getting the best of them
Bm
Facts are nothing on the face of men
