INTRO:
A# F A Dm-Cm x2
VERSE:
A# F
Everyone laughed at her joke
A Dm Cm
As if they'd never even heard it before
A# F
And maybe they were truly amused
A Dm Cm
But every word that she spoke was a bore
A# F
And maybe it's because they had seen
A Dm Cm
The previews on the TV screen
A# F
Well this part is good and that's well understood
A Dm Cm
So you should laugh if you know what I mean
CHORUS (strum pattern changes a little- hold the A for a fraction longer)
A# F
But it's all relative
A Dm-Cm
Even if you don't understand
A# F
Well it's all understood
A Dm-Cm
Especially when you don't understand
A# F
Then it's all just because
A Dm-Cm
Even if we don't understand
A# F A Dm-Cm
Then lets all just believe
Pretty much the same for the rest of the song.
Funny bit right at the end:
A# A#
But there you go once again
F F
You missed the point and then you point
A
Your fingers at me
Dm Cm A# F
And say that I said not to believe
A
I believe
Dm Cm A#
I guess it's all relative

As if they'd never even heard it before

F C
Then lets all just believe
F C E Am *open* (x2)
Everyone knows what went down
Because the news was spread all over town
And fact is only what you believe
And fact and fiction work as a team
It's almost always fiction in the end
That content begins to bend
When context is never the same
And it's all relative
Even if we don't understand
And it's all understood
Especially when we don't understand
Then it's all just because
Even if we don't understand
Then lets all just believe
I was reading a book
Or maybe it was a magazine
Suggestions on where to place faith
Suggestions on what to believe
But I read somewhere
That you've got to beware
You can't believe anything you read
But the good Book is good
And that's well understood
So don't even question
If you know what I mean
But it's all relative
Even if you don't understand
Well it's all understood
Especially when you don't understand
And it's all just because
Even if we don't understand
Then lets all just believe
But there you go once again
You missed the point and then you point
Your fingers at me
And say that I said not to believe
I believe
I guess
I guess it's all relative
