[Bb] Thank you very much, good morning, and welcome to the Midnight K [Eb]-Show!
In case some of you are wondering why you hear music [Cm] and see no band.
Where's that band?
[Ab] I don't [Eb] see any band.
Why there is no band?
Because it's all me.
It's all me and my [Cm] 16-track machine.
[Ab] [Eb] Mixed and edited and placed on tape recording for your pleasure.
Except the vocalist [Cm] live, [Eb] because
[Ab]
[Cm] We knew it was [Bb] a [Cm] joke, thought I was [Gm] a [Cm] joke.
As a child
[Eb]
[Db] I didn't know
I
[Ab] [Eb] didn't know
[Ab] [Eb]
[Cm] [Bb] [Cm] [Gm] [Cm]
Something
I should [Eb] know
[Ab] I didn't know
[A] [Bb] I [Eb] had [Bb] a vision
It was what it was when my body just [Eb] turned it down
And you are something you can't see
But [Ab] it's still very real [Eb] to me
[G] You'll keep finding in the hole where I keep my soul
There it [A] is, out inside [Bb] you
There's a [C] real magic
It is [Bm] a [Am] real magic
Get about my [C] body, be a real
I [G] [Am]
[Cm] see you with my heart
I hear you with my heart
Sometimes [Eb] it's hard to [Ab] let it go
It
[Eb] [Ab] [Eb] seems so cold, [Bb] green, looking down
And [Eb] I'm ready to try [Bb] it
Let emotion push me [Eb]
around
[Bb] [Ab] But the biggest [Eb]
chance on it all
[Db] It will shine when we [Eb] are all
[G] And I think I have a little spot while I'm here
[Am] [G] [A]
There's [Bb] a [C] real magic
There's [Bm] [Am] a real magic
Forget about bad feelings, [C] you're a real
Now [G] [Am] listen to this
[Bb] Some damn [F] world is [Bb] only hatin' [F] money
[Dm] Family [C] fame [Dm] and life and [C] nothing
And they all [Bb] [C] need him to [Am] criticize
[Bb]
[Ab] You can laugh [Bb] at me now
[Ab] But the time comes [Bb] for everybody
And you must [Eb] decide
[Ab] When [Eb] it comes along
I [Ab] wish you'd get a little [Eb] more strong
[G] Then you'll wake up in the morning crying
Oh my God
[A] [Bb] There's a [C] real man
Say [G] there's a [Am] real man
Got to grow up sometime
[C] You're a real
Come on, [Bm] be a [Am] real man
Someone that says that out [Bb] loud
You're a [C] real man
Got to [G] be a [Am] real man
Don't tell yourself for [C] nothing
Be a real
Come on, [G] be a [Am] real man
Take a breath, come on, [Bb] be a [C] real man
Everybody [G] be a [Am] real man
Get your trip together, [C] be a real
Be [G] a [Am] real man [Gm] Thank you
