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