Don't Be Fooled

	  		

A 
driven out of bed with bright eyes 
E 
and yellow starlight, 
A 
fighting for a ghost of clarity 
E 
that slowly comes to me 
D                      A 
by throwin' on a shirt and jeans 
       E 
and a look of innocence 
D                  A 
the red skies and gasoline 
E 
in the radiance, 

A 
burnin' out a stretch of concrete, 
E 
with a racin' heartbeat 
A 
tradin' in my years for hours 
E 
with the gods and cowards 
D                    A 
and somewhere at the end of it 
E 
where the road becomes a fence, 
D                    A 
she points into the infinite, 
E 
into the radiance 


and she says, 
D          A 
"don't be fooled, 
F#m       E 
don't be fooled, 
D         A                  E 
don't be fooled by the real thing" 

A                
out of sight, of mind, she chooses 
E 
for her scars and bruises 
A 
it hit like a pack of fire works 
E 
a spark confuses 

D               A 
A citadel of razor wire 
E 
i'm a captive audience 
D                             A 
i see the search lights and forest fires 
E 
in the radiance 


and she says, 
D       A          E 
"wait, wait, there it is-- 
D         A 
don't be fooled, 
F#m       E 
don't be fooled, 
D         A                  E 
don't be fooled by the real thing" 

D 
it's true, 
A 
it's true, 
F#m    E 
i believe 

D 
it's true 
A 
it's true 
F#m             E    A 
i believed her reasoning 

D           A 
"don't be fooled, 
F#m        E 
don't be fooled, 
D          A              E 
don't be fooled by the real thing" 

D           A 
"don't be fooled, 
F#m        E 
don't be fooled, 
D         A              E 
don't be fooled by the real thing" 


and she says 
D       F#m         E 
"wait, wait, there it is" 

and she says 
D       A 
"wait, wait"
