Real

Intro: A A/G# x4 

A                         D 
I think it's time that we move ahead 
       E                        A 
To the place we never wanted to go 
A                   D 
There's no sense in looking back 
        E             A (Stop) A/G# 
Let the final credits roll 
A                  D 
I could never live up to 
    E                  A 
The man that's in your head 
A                         D 
You want the guy from the notebook 
    E             A 
But you got me instead 

    D               Dm           (Stop) 
But you'll be sorry when I'm gone 

                   D       A 
I never said I was peeeeeerfect 
                   E           A 
Who the hell wants perfect anyway? 
                   D     A 
Sometimes I really f*ck up 
           E                 A 
But baby I learn from my mistakes 
                 D                    A 
And I don’t know what I'm supposed to be 
           D          A 
All that I ever am is me 
         B                              D 
And I'll never gonna change, here's the deal 
                      D     A     E 
I'm just trying to be real, real, real 
                       D      A     E 
I'm just trying to be real, real, real 

I never was the hip kid 
I always use words like hip 
Judas Priest on my walkman 
When culture club was the shit (I tumble for you) 
I drive a ‘91 Volvo 
The a/c still works fine 
I'm happy with my Miller Lite 
While everyone's drinking wine 

'Cause it's less spilling, it tastes great 

I never said I was perfect 
Who the hell wants perfect anyway? 
Sometimes I really f*ck up 
But baby I learn from my mistakes 
And I don’t know what I'm supposed to be 
All that I ever am is me 
And I'll never gonna change, here's the deal 
I'm just trying to be real, real, real 
I'm just trying to be real, real, real 

E                 A                  D                 Bm 
You can have your gluten free pizza, I've got taco bell 
(?) 
E                A 
You can try your best to change me 
D                   Dm 
I just gotta be myself 

I never said I was perfect 
Who the hell wants perfect anyway? 
Sometimes I really f*ck up 
Baby I learn from my mistakes 
And I don’t know what I'm supposed to be 
All that I ever am is me 
And I'll never gonna change, here's the deal 
(Never gonna change) 

I never said I was perfect 
Who the hell wants perfect anyway? 
Sometimes I really f*ck up 
But baby I learn from my mistakes 
And I don’t know what I'm supposed to be 
All that I ever am is me 
And I'll never gonna change, here's the deal 
I'm just trying to be real, real, real 
I'm just trying to be real, real, real
