Intro: DmFCGDmFCG
I woke up on this side, I thought it was a dream
DmFCG
At first we learned to walk then learned to scream
DmFCG
You can't understand, when you're fed from a TV screen
DmFCG
You can't see the things that I can see
F (bar chords in 8th) F*
But I forget, that you thank God and pray
F F*
Some things just never stay
F (Break)
And we all just slip away
Dm
This can't be the real world now
FCG
I don't believe it, when I can't see the truth
Dm
Welcome to the real world now
FCG
The old are carried in only to poison youth
DmFCAm I, the only one who thinks it's tragic
G
'Cause I know
Dm
This can't be the real world now
FC
Oh no oh
G
Oh no oh
I look for some hope in every face there's a vacant stare
The shadows come but no one seems to care
The darkness floods every light that could promise change
She passed sound asleep when the blood is stain
But blood is pain
Somewhere I know, that I'm not all alone
With this bated breath I hold
My lungs want to explode
Dm
This can't be the real world now
FCG
I don't believe it, when I can't see the truth
Dm
Welcome to the real world now
FCG
The old are carried in only to poison youth
DmFCAm I, the only one who thinks it's tragic
G
'Cause I know
Dm
This can't be the real world now
FC
Oh no oh
G
Oh no oh
Dm
This can't be the real world now
FC
Oh no oh
G
Oh no oh
DmC5
Just as soon as we see
B5Bb5G
Every flaw and every need we'll understand
F
And for the first time
DmC5B5Bb5A child to a man says only pure words that he can
GF
He's too late the man he knows it he said
DmGDmFCG
With all emotions set aside in a whisper say goodbye
Dm
This can't be the real world now
FCG
I don't believe it, when I can't see the truth
Dm
Welcome to the real world now
FCG
The old are carried in only to poison youth
DmFCAm I, the only one who thinks it's tragic
G
'Cause I know
Dm
This can't be the real world now
FC
Oh no oh
G
Oh no oh
