There's a science fiction in the space between you and me

A fabrication, grand scheme. I am the scary monster

Em                  C             G             D/F#
Give us all what we need. Give us one more sad, sordid story.
       Em                     C     G              D/F#
In the fiction of the space between sometimes a lie is the best thing

the first G in each verse is false, the right chord would be Em e.G.: instead of G C ... There is fiction in the space between ... it would be: Em!! C ... There is fiction in the space between ...
