♫ Intro: 
 G   C  

♫ Verse 1: 
C  
I guess I've settled for half of what I need 
G  
You burned through me like wildfire 

And there ain't nothing new to see 
Em  
I've given half my life away wondering which direction's home 
C  
With a jagged piece of you somewhere 

Stuck deep into my soul 

C  G  


G                C  
You know how it feels 
             G  
Can't get no relief 
                 Em  
This couldn't be real 
                      C  
But it feels like the real thing 
G  
The real thing

♫ Interlude: 
(x2) 
C  C  
G  
(Hang) 
D  
G  

♫ Verse 2:
C  
I guess I always thought that I'd have my second chances 
G  
The days are now so precious 

The timeline keeps advancing 
Em  
Just behind the door, I thought, were the answers to my questions 
C  
All I wanted was a clean break 

But ended up here in a mess 

C  G  


G                C  
You know how it feels 
                      G  
To be brought to your knees 
                 Em  
This couldn't be real 
                                     C  
But the heartache, it feels like the real thing 
G  
The real thing

G    A    A#    B  
Always searching

I think 


G                C  
You know how it feels 
                 Em  
This couldn't be real 
                      C  
But it feels like the real thing 
G                C  
You know how it feels 
             G  
Can't get no relief 
              Em  
This couldn't be real 
                      C  
But it feels like the real thing 
         G  
The real thing 

Chorus 
                C  
You know how it feels 
                      G  
To be brought to your knees 
                 Em  
This couldn't be real 
                                     C  
But the heartache, it feels like the real thing 
         G  
The real thing
