Everyone laughed at her joke
As if they'd never even heard it before
And maybe they were truly amused
But every word she spoke was a bore
And maybe it's because they had seen
The previews on the TV screen
"Well this part is good and that's well understood,
so you should laugh if you know what I mean"
CHORUS
G(strum once) D(strum once)
But it's all relative
Even if you don't understand
Well it's all understood
Especially when you don't understand
G(strum once) D(strum once)
Then it's all just because
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
It's almost always fiction in the end
The content begins to bend
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
But I read somewhere that you've got to beware
You can't believe anything you read
But the Good Book is good and that's well understood
So don't even question if you know what I mean

CHORUS
ENDING
But there you go
Once again
You missed the point
And then you point
your fingers at me
And say that I said not to believe
Ah but there you go once again
You missed the point
And then you point your
Fingers at me
And you say that I said not to believe
Well I believe
