The Real Thing

Intro: A  D 

 
D 
I guess I've settled for half of what I need 
A 
You burned through me like wildfire 

And there ain't nothing new to see 
F#m 
I've given half my life away wondering which direction's home 
D 
With a jagged piece of you somewhere 

Stuck deep into my soul 

D A 


A               D 
You know how it feels 
             A 
Can't get no relief 
                 F#m 
This couldn't be real 
                      D 
But it feels like the real thing 
A 
The real thing 

Interlude:
(x2) 
D D 
A 
(Hang) 
E 
A 


D 
I guess I always thought that I'd have my second chances 
A 
The days are now so precious 

The timeline keeps advancing 
F#m 
Just behind the door, I thought, were the answers to my questions 
D 
All I wanted was a clean break 

But ended up here in a mess 

D A 


A               D 
You know how it feels 
                      A 
To be brought to your knees 
                 F#m 
This couldn't be real 
                                     D 
But the heartache, it feels like the real thing 
A 
The real thing

Always somewhere else

A               D 
You know how it feels

But it feels like the real thing 
A               D

Can't get no relief

The real thing 

Chorus 
                D 
You know how it feels 
                      A 
To be brought to your knees 
                 F#m 
This couldn't be real 
                                     D 
But the heartache, it feels like the real thing 
         A 
The real thing
