The Real by John Frusciante
I F#mdont know the Bmreal from what Ai thought Ei saw
I cant remember where i went, where i was
F#m Bm A E F#m2x
F#mI'm BmgonAnaE mF#move toward a point in time
F#mWherBme wAheEre you are is a state of mind
BmAnd anytAime I can Eread your F#mthoughts, SBmome of them Ayours and Esome I F#mthought of
F#mTheres no good rBmeason for a hF#meartbreak, nothing's repeaBmting every MoAnday
F#mIts no good sayiBmng you'll alAways be mF#mine
F#mThese joBmkes life's plAaying they Emake me sF#mo tired so tired.
F#m Bm A F#m
F#m Bm A F#m
F#mIt's already to Emuch to alwaAys see you Eoff
F#mThe sense that hEours go backA is enough E
F#m Bm A E F#m2x
F#mI liBmke AtoE fF#made when I write this line
F#mTherBme'sA eEvery reason to paint a decline
BmAnd everAy mile i wEalk is fivF#me I'll get Bmwhere I'm goAing in theE next lF#mife
F#mAnd all the whilBme there's a fF#malse face
F#mThis every killBming is left uAntraced
F#mThis kind of falEling saved mAy son E
F#mThis constant loEnging for whAat's gone E
F#m Bm A E 5x
Whats gone
F#mA Name
BThese don't F#have a G#mname
I've been a Bfool to F#let it out that G#mway
And it'll C#mkeep on coming G#mback
A Bfool F#gets laughed G#mat
And I'll Bgo F#on and C#mon and G#mon
BLetting it F#out when the C#mfeeling's G#mstrong
I Bwonder F#who in the C#msingle G#mthing
Made Bthis F#night and this C#mugly G#mdreams
B These all F#pass aG#mway
It is Bclear that one can F#see through a G#mday
And i C#mmay have met my G#mmatch
ComBpletely F#unatG#mtached
With Bno F#one no C#mone no G#mone
On Bwhom to reF#ly let's C#msing that G#msong
Well BI didn't F#read C#mthe last G#mpage
You Bthought of F#me at that C#mfinal G#mstage
G#meenie Emeenie F#miny G#mmoe
It's aG#mbout Etime about F#time to G#mgo
G#meenie Emeenie F#miny G#mmoe
It's aG#mbout Etime about F#time to G#mgo
