The Real Thing chords by Deer Tick

Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Capo on 2nd
  • Difficulty: Beginner
Intro:
 G   CVerse 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:

GVerse 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

 (I like to play the following notes open for the interlude, you can play relative chords)

Always somewhere else

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
