Gm    A#
Fiction
                  D#
When we're not together
               Gm
Mistaken for a vision
A#                     D#
Something of my own creation
            Gm A#
I wake up alone
                       D#
With only daylight between us
                           Gm     A#
Last night the world was beneath us,
                     D#
Tonight comes, dear love
               Gm A#
Were we torn apart
                 D#
By the break of day?
                          Gm  A#
You're more than I can believe,
                    D#
Would ever come my way

Fiction when we're not together
Mistaken for a vision,
something of my own creation
Come real life, why do I refuse you?
Cause if my fear's right,
I risk to lose you
And if I just mind and wake up alone
Bring on the night

Fiction when we're not together
Mistaken for a vision,
something of my own creation
An uncertain haze, how am I to tell?
I know your face all too well,
still I wake up alone
Fiction when we're not together
