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