Chords

Notes: The intro is a quick A - D you can either play the chords or let the a string ring before hitting the D chord [Intro] A D [Verse 1]
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 [Chorus]
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

E A [Verse 2]
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 [Chorus]
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

This couldn't be real

                                     D
But the heartache, it feels like the real thing

         A
The real thing
