Standard Tuning  EADGBE

A                            Bm               A
A billion people died on the news tonight
                             Bm
But not so many cried at the terrible sight
           A
Well mama said
                        C#m
It's just make believe
                                      Bm
You can't believe everything you see
                                       D           Dm
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
        A                     Bm
On the news tonight

A                                    Bm           A
Who's the one to decide that it would be alright
                            Bm
To put the music behind the news tonight
            A
Well mama said
                                         C#m
You can't believe everything you hear
                              Bm
The diagetic world is so unclear
                          D        Dm
So baby close your ears
             Bm
On the news tonight
               F#m
On the news tonight
Bm                                 F#m
The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight
                  A
And mama said
E
Mmm

A                                                    Bm
Why don't the newscasters cry when they read about people who die
A                                                   Bm
At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes
        A
Mama said
                        C#m
It's just make believe

You cant believe everything you see
Bm                                       D         Dm
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
           A                    Bm             A
On the news tonight

This is my first tab, so go easy on me if you notice any flaws.
Listen to the song for the timing.  Thanks K—C, and Chris for getting
me started on guitar, and helpin a brother out when needed.  Much Love.
Later, Jake.
