 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
