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
DA
by throwin' on a shirt and jeans
E
and a look of innocence
DA
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
DA
and somewhere at the end of it
E
where the road becomes a fence,
DA
she points into the infinite,
E
into the radiance
and she says,
DA
"don't be fooled,
F#mE
don't be fooled,
DAE
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
DA
A citadel of razor wire
E
i'm a captive audience
DA
i see the search lights and forest fires
E
in the radiance
and she says,
DAE
"wait, wait, there it is--
DA
don't be fooled,
F#mE
don't be fooled,
DAE
don't be fooled by the real thing"
D
it's true,
A
it's true,
F#mE
i believe
D
it's true
A
it's true
F#mEA
i believed her reasoning
DA
"don't be fooled,
F#mE
don't be fooled,
DAE
don't be fooled by the real thing"
DA
"don't be fooled,
F#mE
don't be fooled,
DAE
don't be fooled by the real thing"
and she says
DF#mE
"wait, wait, there it is"
and she says
DA
"wait, wait"
