[D] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
He wore a song around his neck Like [G] some medal of honor
[D] He [G] carried his wisdom [A] like a [Am] knife An _ _ empty pocket was a [G] temporary chain
[F] Knowing [D] you got it coming, ain't [Am] no crying _ _ _ _ _ _ Every blue note that [G] rolled off his tongue
You [D] could feel his soul [G] twisting right [Am] in two _ _ _ Nobody knew where [G] he came from
[F] Oh, and everybody knew _ [D] Everybody [Gm] knew it was [Dm] the real thing
_ _ [C] No doubt about it [Dm] The kind that [C] you remember when [G] they're gone
The [Dm] real thing Put [C] here for a reason
[F] We knew [C] someday [F] The whole [C] world was gonna [E] know his _ name
Yeah, it was [A] the real [Am] thing _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ She whispered in his ear
[G] He heard the thunder _ [D] Singing about [G] a world he never [Am] knew
_ _ _ Head spinning round He [G] began to wonder
[F] Was he made to love [D] her Or born [Am] to sing the blues? _ _ _
Searched inside him for [G] the answer But [D] all he found [G] was a troubled [A] [Am] mind
He _ left her somewhere [G] on the blue highway But [F] it wasn't just another [D] love
That he [G] left behind It was [Dm] the real thing
No [C] _ doubt about it [D] The kind that you [C] remember [G] when it's gone
[Dm] The real thing Not [C] like passion's fire
[F] But a [C] burning, [F] smoldering [C] Oh, eternal [G] flame
And [Bb] sometimes at night [C] he longs for [Dm] her whisper But [F] he [C] hides from the dawn
[F] Cause he always [C] wished to find her [E] gone
In [Am] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ some broken-down dressing room In [G] some major city
The [D] thunder plays [G] an old familiar [Am] tune He _ spies the face [G] of a distant angel
[F] Outside, [D] beneath the halo [Am] moon _ _ Finger on the trigger, needle [G] in the vein
[D] One more bullet, [Gm] it might be your [Am] last ride _ But this ain't no no-show
[G] This ain't no nervous breakdown [F] And it shows hell ain't the [D] town
To let [G] the fool decide this is [Dm] the real thing
No [G] _ doubt about it [Dm] Who cares if [G] they love you when you're gone?
_ This is [Dm] the real thing So [C] you were put here for a reason
[F] But what [C] gives you the right _ [F]
To quit [C] when you're tired?
[F] _ [C] Anyway, boy, [E] this ain't no game
_ _ _ This _ [A] [Am] is the _ [G] real thing
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ He wore a song around his neck Like [G] a song made of honor
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] Carried his wisdom _ [A] like a [Am] knife _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
