[D] [E]
[G] [B]
So tonight's our [D] thirst for real blood, for real [A] knives, [G] for real cries.
[B]
And then the [D] flash of steel from real guns, [A] in real life, really [G] fills my mind.
[A]
We really [G] miss what really [D] did exist, and had you throat [A] so tight.
[Em]
I miss the [G] buzz of the [D] swerve from a song, [A] and crashing to its side.
[B] So that's the [D] blood from real cuts, feels real [A] nice when it's really mine.
[B] And if you want it to [D] be real, come [A] over for one night, and we can really, [G] really climb.
[A] Those blue [G] bridge lights might really burn [D] those prides, watch that [A] dark lake [B] rise.
[Em] If you really [G] want to see what really matters most [D] to me, [A] take a real short drive.

[Em] It's just a drive into the [A] dark stretch, long stretch of [E] night, where we stretch [F#m] this shaking mind.
[Bm] In this room I [D] live unheated, [A] and the ceiling's striped, and the dark [G] black blinds, I want to know [A] this time.
And if you're really [G] finally mine, I need to know that [A] you're not lying, so I want to see you tried.
[Em] And I don't want to hear you [G] say it shouldn't really be this [D] way, cause [A] I like this way just fine.
[E] Cause [G] nothing's quite like the [D] blinding light [A] that currents cast aside.
[Em] And no chance it [G] makes to [D] explain away, cause it's really, [A] really, really, really, really hard.
[Em] You [G]
can't, you [D] can't, you [A] can't, [E] you [G] can't, you [D] can't, you can't.
