G Bm Picture a scene in your mind C A Look at all the people and take note D of the setting behind C Bm Am D Listen, watch, and wait, a plot begins to take shape There's a story and then characters will come to you Relating events as they choose to But all their words and actions come entirely from you Chorus: G Bm If you're a storyteller you might think C Cm you're without responsibility G Bm And you can lead your characters anywhere C Cm you want, you have immunity Have you considered the way People might react to all the things that your characters say? And are their actions hand in hand with what you want to portray? Are you sick? Are you crippled? Insane? Expressing the desires that daren't speak their name? Are you the one to be blamed? Chorus: Now you're a storyteller you might think you are without responsibility But in directions, actions and words cause and effect You need consistency How can you finish the tale? Lives which have played a part Are summarised from the very start And episodes left out to make it all go your way "It's a might big world Some of it I've seen But mostly I've only heard And stories are all fiction from their moment of birth" Chorus: You're just a storyteller You're not trying to escape responsibility If we believe you then you're successful But you don't make claims of verity You're just a storyteller You're not trying to escape responsibility If we believe you then you're successful But you don't make claims of verity You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  Bm  C  Cm  D  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
