[G]Everyone laughed at her [D]joke
As [F#]if they'd never even heard it be[Bm]fore
And [G]maybe they were truly [D]amused
But [F#]every word she spoke was a [Bm]bore
And [G]maybe it's because they had [D]seen
The [F#]previews on the TV [Bm]screen
"Well [G]this part is good and that's [D]well understood,
so you should [F#]laugh if you know what I [Bm]mean"
CHORUS
G(strum once) D(strum once)
But it's all relative
[F#]Even if you don't under[Bm]stand
Well it's all under[G]stood[D]
Es[F#]pecially when you don't under[Bm]stand
G(strum once) D(strum once)
Then it's all just because
[F#]Even if we don't under[Bm]stand
(Fill 1)
Then let's all just believe

VERSE 2
G(strum once) D(strum once)
Everyone knows what went down
F#(strum once) Bm(strum once)
Because the news was spread all over town
G(strum once) D(strum once)
And fact is only what you believe
F#(strum once) Bm(strum once)(w/ Fill 2)
And fact and fiction work as a team
It's almost [G]always fiction in the end
The [D]content begins to bend
When [F#]context is never the [Bm]same

CHORUS
VERSE 3
G(strum once) D(strum once)
I was reading a book
F#(strum once) Bm(strum once) (w/fill 3)
Or maybe it was a magazine
G(strum once) D(strum once)
Suggestions on where to place faith
F#(strum once) Bm(strum once)
Suggestions on what to believe
But I [G]read somewhere that you've [D]got to beware
You [F#]can't believe anything you [Bm]read
But the [G]Good Book is good and that's [D]well understood
So don't even [F#]question if you know what [Bm]I mean
*Fill 3*

ENDING
But [G]there you go
[D]Once again
You [F#]missed the point
And [Bm]then you point
your [G]fingers at me[D] [F#]
And [Bm]say that I said not to be[G]lieve
Ah but [G]there you go once again
You [D]missed the point
And then you point your
[F#]Fingers at me
And you [Bm]say that I said not to [G]believe[D]
Well I be[F#]lieve[Bm]
