Real life

It keeps coming it keeps coming 
Bm  
Sunshine

Rays

Of hope and clarity

Hold  me 
D              A/D 
In the darkness  of my lostness 
Bm 
Hear me 
Shout into the scream into the 
A  
Void 
         G  
Where the dead go to dream 
Bm 
I’ll keep running I’ll keep running 
A  
You stay where you are 
Bm 
No you start running if we’re both runnin 
  A                  A7

D    A/D 
Bad dreams 
D         A/D 
In our beds and in our heads 
We worry 
We take the blues we take the reds 
But still 
We can’t sleep through the night 

Someday 
Can we even use that word 
I’m afraid 
Of all the things I overheard 
Are true 
Now I just want to hide 

Doubts are gnawing tears are falling 
On this judgment day 
Fortunes falling fortune’s calling 
Me another way 


G     A              D  
I will  call upon the  mystical the magical 
    G                      A

To holy words that frightened people say

To for give us and to heal us 
  D 
To  day 

D               D/A 
There’s too much  out of our hands 
D           D/A 
In this dese   crated land 
Bm 
Thousands going into the ground 
Can this boat be turned around 
D                D/A 
All this poisoned  politics  
     D               D/A  
These  hypocrites and  heretics  
Bm 
Worse than mediocrities  
They’re a swarm of killer bees 
Where oh where did we go wrong 
Can anything be healed with a song 
How much more can we all take 
How long until our hearts’ll break 
G 
Open for good 
    A 
For  good good good  
For good good good 


G      A             D
