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
Built with a Glens and a low self esteem
A Cteenager's plea for meaning and means
We're Bselling the news
See, Emopinions are easier to swallow than facts
The Ggreys instead of the whites and the blacks
If you Cshoot it too straight it won't come back
We're Bselling the news
See, Emmoney speaks volumes louder than words
And Gvirtues with wings, maybe not quite at first
But Csalaries are paid by the ads not the verbs
We're Bselling the news
See, Emall men are equal; all is for sale
A Gpowerful dog has been chasing his tail
The Clowest common denominator prevails
We're Bselling the news
CHORUS:
I Emwanna believe you, I wanna believe
But Geverything here's in-between
The Cfact is fiction, the Bfact is fiction
I Emwanna believe you, I wanna believe
But Geverything here's in-between
The Cfact is fiction,
SusBpicion 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:
AEmmerica listens as the story is told
With the Geye on the truth as the story unfolds
But the Cratings determine the story was sold
We're Bselling the news
BeggEming the question, mongering fears
StrGoking the eyes and tickling ears
The Ctruth is seldom just as it appears
We're Bselling the news
CHORUS
I can Emsee your talking Gheads
On the Ctelevision Bset
On the EmInternet they Gsaid
The Cfact is fiction
SusBpicion is the new religion
INTERLUDE...
VERSE:
SEmubstance, oh, substance, where have you been?
You've Gbeen replaced by the masters of spin
Who make Cgood looking books and write history in
We're Bselling the news
The Emlines start to blur; I get so confused
I get Gshiny new models mixed up with the blues
I get Cbinary code mixed up with abuse
The Bfacts are simply one option to choose
When Emnothing is sacred, there's nothing to lose
When Gnothing is sacred, all is consumed
We're Cstill on the air, it must be the truth
We're Bselling the news
LAST CHORUS:
I Emwanna believe you, I wanna believe
But Geverything here's in-between
The Cfact is fiction, the Bfact is fiction
I Emwanna believe you, I wanna believe
But Geverything here's in-between
The Cfact is fiction, the Bfact is fiction
I Emwanna believe you, I wanna believe
But Geverything I see is greed
The Cfact is fiction
SuBspicion is the new religion
I end on Em.
