G                       D
Everyone laughed at her joke
   F#                              Bm
As if they'd never even heard it before
    G                     D
And maybe they were truly amused
    F#                         Bm
But every word she spoke was a bore
    G                           D
And maybe it's because they had seen
    F#                 Bm
The previews on the TV screen
      G                            D
"Well this part is good and that's well understood,
              F#                       Bm
so you should laugh if you know what I mean"


CHORUS

                G(strum once)  D(strum once)
But it's all relative
F#                     Bm
Even if you don't understand
                   G          D
Well it's all understood
  F#                           Bm
Especially when you don't understand
                     G(strum once)  D(strum once)
Then it's all just because
F#                    Bm
Even if we don't understand
                      (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
            G
It's almost always fiction in the end
    D
The content begins to bend
     F#                   Bm
When context is never the 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
      G                          D
But I read somewhere that you've got to beware
    F#                         Bm
You can't believe anything you read
        G                            D
But the Good Book is good and that's well understood
              F#                        Bm
So don't even question if you know what I mean

CHORUS

ENDING
    G
But there you go
D
Once again
    F#
You missed the point
    Bm
And then you point
     G              D           F#
your fingers at me
    Bm                       G
And say that I said not to believe

       G
Ah but there you go once again
    D
You missed the point

And then you point your
F#
Fingers at me
        Bm                     G        D
And you say that I said not to believe
         F#       Bm
Well I believe
