Don't Be Fooled
by Jay Clifford
A augmentedA
driven out of bed with bright eyes
E MajorE
and yellow starlight,
A augmentedA
fighting for a ghost of clarity
E MajorE
that slowly comes to me
D MajorD A augmentedA
by throwin' on a shirt and jeans
E MajorE
and a look of innocence
D MajorD A augmentedA
the red skies and gasoline
E MajorE
in the radiance,
A augmentedA
burnin' out a stretch of concrete,
E MajorE
with a racin' heartbeat
A augmentedA
tradin' in my years for hours
E MajorE
with the gods and cowards
D MajorD A augmentedA
and somewhere at the end of it
E MajorE
where the road becomes a fence,
D MajorD A augmentedA
she points into the infinite,
E MajorE
into the radiance
and she says,
D MajorD A augmentedA
"don't be fooled,
F# minorF#m E MajorE
don't be fooled,
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
don't be fooled by the real thing"
A augmentedA
out of sight, of mind, she chooses
E MajorE
for her scars and bruises
A augmentedA
it hit like a pack of fire works
E MajorE
a spark confuses
D MajorD A augmentedA
A augmentedA citadel of razor wire
E MajorE
i'm a captive audience
D MajorD A augmentedA
i see the search lights and forest fires
E MajorE
in the radiance
and she says,
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
"wait, wait, there it is--
D MajorD A augmentedA
don't be fooled,
F# minorF#m E MajorE
don't be fooled,
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
don't be fooled by the real thing"
D MajorD
it's true,
A augmentedA
it's true,
F# minorF#m E MajorE
i believe
D MajorD
it's true
A augmentedA
it's true
F# minorF#m E MajorE A augmentedA
i believed her reasoning
D MajorD A augmentedA
"don't be fooled,
F# minorF#m E MajorE
don't be fooled,
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
don't be fooled by the real thing"
D MajorD A augmentedA
"don't be fooled,
F# minorF#m E MajorE
don't be fooled,
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
don't be fooled by the real thing"
and she says
D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
"wait, wait, there it is"
and she says
D MajorD A augmentedA
"wait, wait"
