CHORDS AND LYRICS
(INTRO)
LA SIm
A billion people died on the news tonight
LA SIm
But not so many cried at the devil sight
LA
Well mama said
LA
It's just make believe
DO#m
You can't believe everything you see
SIm RE
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
REm
On the news tonight
(once through verse before lyrics start)
LA SIm
Who's the one to decide that it would be alright
LA SIm
To put the music behind the news tonight
LA
Well mama said
You can't believe everything you hear
DO#m SIm
The diegetic world is so unclear
RE
So baby close your ears
DO#m SIm
On the news tonight
FAm
On the news tonight
SIm FAm
The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight
And mama said
LA MI
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
LA SIm
Why don't the newscasters cry when they read about people who die
LA SIm
At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes
Mama said
LA
It's just make believe
DO#m
You cant believe everything you see
SIm RE
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
REm LA
On the news tonight
(Bm to A chord for outro)
