[Verse 1]
Edim          Em                           Bm/D - F#m/A - G - C5 - B5/G
Love, let me sleep tonight on your couch
Edim                           Em                               Bm/D - F#m/A - G - C5 - B5/G
And remember the smell of the fabric of your simple city dress
 
[Chorus]

[Chorus]
C6             D9
Oh... that was so real
C6             D9
Oh... that was so real
C6             D9       Edim - Em - Bm/D - F#m/A - G - C5 - B5/G
Oh... that was so real
 
[Verse 2]
Edim                      Em                         Bm/D - F#m/A - G - C5 - B5/G
We walked around til the moon got full like a plate
Edim                        Em                             Bm/D - F#m/A - G - C5 - B5/G
The wind blew an invocation and I fell asleep at the gate
Edim                        Em                                        Bm/D - F#m/A - G - C5 - B5/G
And I never stepped on the cracks cause I thought I'd hurt my mother
Edim                                Em                                         Bm/D - F#m/A - G - C5 - B5/G
And I couldn't awake from the nightmare that sucked me in and pulled me under         Pulled me under
 
[Chorus]
C6             D9
Oh... that was so real
C6             D9
Oh... that was so real
C6             D9       D5
Oh... that was so real
 
[Bridge]
 
N.C.        Edim  -  Em
I love you,
                            Bm/D - F#m/A - G - C5 - B5/G
but I'm afraid to love you
Edim        Em                 Bm/D - F#m/A - G
I love you, but I'm afraid to love you
C5 - B5/G
I'm afraid...
 
[Chorus]
 
C6             D9
Oh... that was so real
C6             D9
Oh... that was so real
C6             D9
Oh... that was so real
