Ron Pope – The Real Thing (Guitar)

C
I will stop moving my mouth for a second,

G
This wasn’t part of the plan.

           Am
All I ever wanted was,

              F
A remedy that I could trust.

               Am                       G
I don’t need a lifeline, I don’t want a rescue,

                          F                           
(it’s) Just that when the dark falls, you I should be next to.

          C
I keep my walls up, I’m trying to change that,

           G
You are my hometown, feels like a flashback.

            Am
I hear your sweet song in every word I sing,

           F
I’ve seen enough fake to know the real thing.

C
This should be easier but that’s just not how we work,

G
I know I’m difficult and sometimes my love’s a curse.

Am
But you made your bed and I know that’s where I wanna sleep,

F
Trust me, your secrets I can keep.

               Am                       G
I don’t need a lifeline, I don’t want a rescue,

                          F                    
Just that when the dark falls, you I should be next to.

          C
I keep my walls up, I’m trying to change that,

           G
You are my hometown, feels like a flashback.

            Am
I hear your sweet song in every word I sing,

           F
I’ve seen enough fake to know the real thing.

          Am
I used to be afraid, but I am not now,

         F
I drove myself away but I have learned how,

           C
To let the fear go and let the light in,

     G             Am    G
No I won’t let you down again.

          C
I keep my walls up, I’m trying to change that,

           G
You are my hometown, feels like a flashback.

            Am
I hear your sweet song and every word I sing,

           F
I’ve seen enough fake to know the real thing.

          C

I hear your sweet song and every word I sing,

           F
I’ve seen enough fake to know the real thing.
