Selling The News chords by Switchfoot

Chords by: SchrobZen
Artist: Switchfoot
Song: Selling The News

This is not what they play.
But I think it's a good way to play the song using chords.
I got the chords from hearing and playing along...
So please if you think there's something wrong let me know!

Have fun playing it.

VERSE:
|--just-mute-strumming--|Em
Welcome to the Holy City; the silver screen
       G
Built with a lens and a low self esteem
 C
A teenager's plea for meaning and means
   B
We're selling the news

   Em
See, opinions are easier to swallow than facts
  G
The greys instead of the whites and the blacks
    C
If you shoot it too straight it won't come back
   B
We're selling the news


   Em
See, money speaks volumes louder than words
  G
And virtues with wings, maybe not quite at first
  C
But salaries are paid by the ads not the verbs
   B
We're selling the news


   Em
See, all men are equal; all is for sale
 G
A powerful dog has been chasing his tail
  C
The lowest common denominator prevails
   B
We're selling the news


CHORUS:
 Em
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
  G
But everything here's in-between
  C          B
The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction


 Em
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
  G
But everything here's in-between
  C
The fact is fiction,
  B
Suspicion is the new religion
                          |As intelude I play these chords, too. But you can
INTERLUDE                      |also think of your own way to go from the chorus to the
                          |verse.
VERSE:
 Em
America listens as the story is told
     G
With the eye on the truth as the story unfolds
    C
But the ratings determine the story was sold
   B
We're selling the news


  Em
Begging the question, mongering fears
  G
Stroking the eyes and tickling ears
  C
The truth is seldom just as it appears
   B
We're selling the news



CHORUS

   Em        G
I can see your talking heads
    C     B
On the television set
    Em      G
On the Internet they said
  C
The fact is fiction

  B
Suspicion is the new religion

INTERLUDE...

VERSE:
 Em
Substance, oh, substance, where have you been?
    G
You've been replaced by the masters of spin
     C
Who make good looking books and write history in
   B
We're selling the news


  Em
The lines start to blur; I get so confused
   G
I get shiny new models mixed up with the blues
   C
I get binary code mixed up with abuse
  B
The facts are simply one option to choose


   Em
When nothing is sacred, there's nothing to lose
   G
When nothing is sacred, all is consumed
   C
We're still on the air, it must be the truth
   B
We're selling the news


LAST CHORUS:

 Em
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
  G
But everything here's in-between
  C          B
The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction


 Em
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
  G
But everything here's in-between
  C          B
The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction


 Em
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
  G
But everything I see is greed
  C
The fact is fiction
 B
Suspicion is the new religion




I end on Em.
