Telling Stories  Tracy Chapman

Telling Stories by Tracy Chapman
(I may not have the lyrics right in places. Enjoy!)
Intro: Em Chord (6th and 4th strings)
[Em]There is [G]fiction in the space be[C]tween [G]lines on a page, a [D]memory
Write it [G]down, but it doesn't [C]mean you're [G]not just telling [D]stories[(Em] [C] [G]tw[D]ice)
There is [G]fiction in the space be[C]tween [G]you and re[D]ality
You would [G]do and say any[C]thing to make your [G]everyday life seem [D]less
mundane
G C G D ( Em C G D twice )
There is fiction in the space between you and me.
There's a science [G]fiction in the space be[C]tween [G]you and [D]me
A fabri[G]cation, grand [C]scheme. [G]I am the scary [D]monster
Need to [G]say it as I leave the [C]scene in my [G]spaceship I am [D]laughing
Your re[G]membrance of a bad [C]dream there's [G]no one but you [D]standing.
( repeat Em C G D twice )
Bridge:
[D]Feel the pity and the pain [C]for the ones who [G]do not speak
[D]Back the words you get respect and compassion [C]and for [G]posterity
[C]Spread the words and [G]make believe there is [Em]truth in the space between.
(Em 4 bars)
There is [G]fiction in the space be[C]tween [G]you and [D]everybody
[G]Give us all what we [C]need. Give us [G]one more sad, [D]sordid story.
In the [G]fiction of the space be[C]tween [G]sometimes a lie[D] is the best thing
G C G D (repeat G C G D)
sometimes a lie is the best thing
is the best thing (repeat)
(finish with Em)
