Starin' down the boulevard
Crescent heights, the city lights
su
The way... to another wasted day
Shiny cars and shooting stars
California dreamin' in my
ear... I just wish that you were here
I'm dealing with scars
Just tryin' to see who we are
Nobody said it would be easy
Fighting your way through another day
I think I know how you feel
Looking for something that matters
Keeping it together when it's all been shattered
We all want something real
Ohhh...
Summer's on a holiday
Pills to chase the blues away
Who knows... just how far the story goes
So listen to the radio
Turn it up so you can sing
along... Even though the notes are wrong
I'm building up walls
And trying to break all the falls
Nobody said it would be easy
Fighting your way through another day
I think I know how you feel
Looking for something that matters
Keeping it together when it's all been shattered
We all want something real
dd
All your life you're wondering
dd
We don't know what's happening
Something's gotta give
dd
Falling through the atmosphere
dd
See the world in black and white
Picture's coming clear
How many times I wish that you were here
(Awesome drum fill)
Nobody said it would be easy
Fighting your way through another day
I think I know how you feel
Looking for something that matters
Keeping it together when it's all been shattered
We all want something real
(Key change... Move a capo up 2 and play the same, or play these chords:)
Nobody said it would be easy
Fighting your way through another day
I think I know how you feel
Looking for something that matters
Keeping it together when it's all been shattered
We all want something real OHhhhhh
We all want something real Ohhoohhh
We all want something real Ohhhh...
