Picture a scene in your mind
C chordC A chordA D chordD
Look at all the people and take note of the setting behind
C chordC Bm chordBm Am chordAm D chordD
Listen, watch, and wait, a plot begins to take shape
G chordG Bm chordBm C chordC
There's a story and then, characters will come to you
A chordA D chordD
Relating events as they choose to
C chordC Bm chordBm Am chordAm D chordD G chordG
But all their words and actions come entirely from you

Am chordAm D chordD
G chordG Bm chordBm C chordC D# chordD#
If you're a storyteller you might think you're without responsibility
G chordG Bm chordBm C chordC D# chordD#
And you can lead your characters anywhere you want, you have immunity

G chordG Bm chordBm C chordC D chordD x2

G chordG Bm chordBm
Have you considered the way
C chordC A chordA D chordD
People might react to all the things that your characters say?
C chordC Bm chordBm Am chordAm D chordD
And are their actions hand in hand with what you want to portray?
G chordG Bm chordBm
Are you sick? Are you crippled? Insane?
C chordC A chordA D chordD
Expressing the desires that daren't speak their name?
C chordC Bm chordBm Am chordAm D chordD
Are you the one to be blamed?

G chordG Bm chordBm C chordC D# chordD#
Now you're a storyteller you might think you're without responsibility
G chordG Bm chordBm C chordC D# chordD#
But in directions, actions and words, cause and effect, you need consistency

G chordG Bm chordBm C chordC D chordD x3
G chordG

G chordG Bm chordBm
How can you finish the tale?
C chordC
Lives which have played a part
A chordA D chordD
Are summarized from the very start
C chordC Bm chordBm Am chordAm D chordD
And episodes left out to make it all go your way
G chordG Bm chordBm
"It's a might big world
C chordC A chordA
Some of it I've seen
D chordD
But mostly I've only heard
C chordC Bm chordBm Am chordAm D chordD G chordG
And stories are all fiction from their moment of birth"

Am chordAm D chordD
G chordG Bm chordBm C chordC D# chordD#
You're just a storyteller, you're not trying to escape responsibility
G chordG Bm chordBm C chordC D# chordD#
If we believe you then you're successful but you don't make claims of verity


G chordG Bm chordBm C chordC D chordD x4
