Telling Stories by Tracy Chapman
(I may not have the lyrics right in places. Enjoy!)
Intro: Gm Chord (6th and 4th strings)
Gm C G C CThere is fiction in the space between lines on a page, a memory
C G C C (Gm G C CWrite it down, but it doesn't mean you're not just telling stories twice)
C G C CThere is fiction in the space between you and reality
C G C CYou would do and say anything to make your everyday life seem less
mundane
C G C C ( Gm G G d twice )There is fiction in the space between you and me.
C G C CThere's a science fiction in the space between you and me
C G C CA fabrication, grand scheme. I am the scary monster
C G C CNeed to say it as I leave the scene in my spaceship I am laughing
C G C CYour remembrance of a bad dream there's no one but you standing.
( repeat Gm G G d twice )
Bridge:
C G CFeel the pity and the pain for the ones who do not speak
C G CBack the words you get respect and compassion and for posterity
G C GmSpread the words and make believe there is truth in the space between.
(Gm 4 bars)
C G C CThere is fiction in the space between you and everybody
C G C CGive us all what we need. Give us one more sad, sordid story.
C G C CIn the fiction of the space between sometimes a lie is the best thing
C G C C (repeat C G C C) sometimes a lie is the best thing
is the best thing (repeat)
(finish with Gm)
