Song: Selling the News
Artist: Switchfoot
Album: Vice Verses
Verse 1:
Welcome to the holy city[B5] a silver screen
Built with the lens[A#5] and a low self esteem
A tee[G5]nager’s plea for meaning and means
We’re [F#5]selling the news
Verse 2:
See o[B5]pinions are easier to swallow than facts
The [A#5]grays instead of the whites and the blacks
If you [G5]shoot it too straight they wont come back
We’re [F#5]selling the news[D5][C5]
Verse 3:
See [B5]money speaks volumes louder than words
And [A#5]virtues with wings maybe not quite at first
But their [G5]salaries are paying for the ad not the verbs
We’re [F#5]selling the news
Verse 4:
See a[B5]ll men are equal all is for sale
A [A#5]powerful dog has been chasing his tail
The [G5]lowest common denominator prevails
We’re [F#5]selling the news
Chorus:
I [Bm]want to believe you
[ch]F#m/A[/ch]
I want to believe but everything is in between
The fa[G]ct is fiction
The fa[F#]ct is fiction
I [Bm]want to believe you

I want to believe but everything is in between
The fa[G]ct is fiction

Interlude: B5 A#5 G5 F#5
Verse 5:
A[B5]merica listens the story is told
With an [A#5]eye on truth the story unfolds
But the [G5]ratings determine the story was sold
We’re [F#5]selling the news
Verse 6:
Beggin[B5]g the question mongering fears
Stroking the eyes[A#5] and tickling ears
The truth’s just [G5]seldom just as it appears
We’re [F#5]selling the news
Chorus
Bridge:
I can [Bm]see your talking heads
On the [G]television s[F#]et
On the [Bm]Internet they said
That fact is fi[G]ction
Sus[F#]picion is a new religion
Interlude
Verse 7:
Sub[B5]stance oh substance where have you been
You’ve [A#5]been replaced by the masters of spin
Who make [G5]good looking books and write history in
We’re [F#5]selling the news
Verse 8:
The lines [B5]start to blur I get so confused
I get [A#5]shiny new models mixed up with the blues
I get [G5]binary code mixed up with abuse
The [F#5]facts are simply one option to choose
Verse 9:
When [B5]nothing is sacred there’s nothing to lose
When [A#5]nothing is sacred all is consumed
We’re [G5]still on the air it must be the truth
We’re [F#5]selling the news
Chorus (final):
I [Bm]want to believe you
[ch]F#m/A[/ch]
I want to believe but everything is in between
The fa[G]ct is fiction
The fa[F#]ct is fiction
