[Verse]
there will Gnever be a day when reality will shut me up
i Emlike to thank and believe in how i was brought up
i'm a Gpart of a people, a people of today
of Emstories young and old, and the people those potray
there are Gthose who sit and listen, to observe and drink it in
there are Emthose who just can't taste it, and they just skip to the end
well, Gme, i'm just a fool, who puts himself in that atmosphere
                                       Em  C*
but at least i hear the emotions, and at least i feel the emotions
[Chorus]
Git's just a story, we Emall know that Cfeeling
Gyou don't believe it, you're Emruining my Cpretending
Git's just a story, we Emall know that Cfeeling
                     G  Em*
you don't believe it, you're ruining my pretending
[Verse]
Gshout out to the folks who grew up to live around
Emthose who are different and those who hear the sounds
Gof that art that soeaks to them, whether or not they agree with it
Emit still got a chance to speak before some asshole said away with it
there are Gthose who sit and listen, to observe and drink it in
there are Emthose who just can't taste it and they just skip to the end
well, Gme, i'm just a fool, who puts himself in that atmosphere
                                   Em  C*
but at least i hear the emotions, at least i feel the emotions
[Chorus]

Git's just a story, we Emall know that Cfeeling

there will never be a day when reality will shut me up

there are those who just can't taste it, and they just skip to the end

well, me, i'm just a fool, who puts himself in that atmosphere
