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

[A] [G] [Em] It's just a drive into the [A] dark stretch, long stretch of night, [E] really stretch this shaking [G] mind.
[Bm] In this room I'm lit [D] unheated, and the ceiling's striped, and the dark [G] black blinds.
[Em] I want to know this [A] time, if you're really finally [G] mine, I need to know that you're not [A] lying.
So I want to see you tried, [Em] and I don't want to [G] hear you say it shouldn't really be this way,
[A] I like this way just fine.
[Em] There's nothing [G] quite like the [A] blinding light that comes cast aside.
[Em] I'm not tempted, [G] made to [D] explain away, [A] really, really, really, really, really, I don't [Em] lie.
You [G] can't, you [D]
can't, you [A] can't, [E]
