A                         Em                  D               A
In the front seat of your convertible car I'm awaiting your return

         A                     Em                    D              A
Watching sunshine flash and my cigarette ash til the corporate logo burns

F#m                     C#m                D             F#m
You picked me up at the County Cook Psychiatry Institute

It’s my first day free. I've got nowhere to be so I'm coming home with you

       C#m                   D
Just a quick stop off at the drugstore

        B7          D                   E
I’m not ready, so I wait in the car for you
[Verse 2]
A                         Em                  D                 A
You asked me who I might like to see on my first night back outside

       A                      Em                      D             A
But my friends are few and my lover is through and my family's horrified

F#m                       C#m                   D                         F#m
We ride along through the silent dusk while the moon gets drunk and high

       A                       Em                    D               A
It's a cold white stone up in heaven alone and I've seen its darker side

C#m                   D
You ask again and the words come out

   B7           D                 E
So easy, they bypass my conscious mind
[Chorus]
A                   A6sus
Point me toward the real motherfuckers

Point me toward the real

A                 F#m
I've been lied to and abused

Bm             D
Time to try to heal

       A             Em
Cut me loose, cut me loose

F#m              G
Let me get hurt, let me feel

D                  Bm
Cut my bound hands free and

Point me toward the real
[Break] A Em A Em [Verse 3]
A                      Em                  D                 A
Now ever since I was a little child I have felt the same old fear

        A                          Em                   D                      A
That I alone will freeze while the world proceeds, I'll be forever stuck right here

F#m                  C#m               D              F#m
But I can't live the old way, that way nearly left me dead

       A                   Em                      D                 A
I need someone new who can tell me the truth and I don't care who it is

C#m                 D       B7           D                    E
I want the knife in deep, ah, and I want someone to give it a twist
[Verse 4]
A                     Em                D            A
We’re coming into the city now and I’ve only said it once

       A                        Em                           D                      A
It's a phrase so clean, I don’t know what it means, but it's more than I've said in months

F#m                  C#m               D                    F#m
You never ask what I did that made the cops fin'lly pick me up

A                        Em                       D               A
You wanna know where I’m trying to go, where I'll be, not where I was

C#m               D                 B7              D                   E
I say it one more time, you nod and smile, and it's better than all the drugs
[Chorus]

Point me toward the real motherfuckers

A                   A6sus
Point me toward the real

A                 F#m
I've been lied to and abused

Bm             D
Time to try to heal

       A             Em
Cut me loose, cut me loose

F#m              G
See what freedom might reveal

D                  Bm
Cut my bound hands free and

D                   N.C.
Point me toward the real
