Intro: G F C (x2) 



[Verso 1]
 
     G                 Cadd9               Em                  C           G 
This old town runs off booze and pills and birth control and nobody says a thing 
                    Cadd9         Em      C 
We tune in and tune out our conversations with the TV screen 
Em                   D                   C 
  Hanging off of the end of a rope coming loose 
                         Em 
I need to get back to my roots 
       D 
To the truth 
       C 
To the way it feels when I hold you 



[Refrão]

            G 
I need that down south 
     Cadd9 
That soul sound 
    Em              D 
You spinning like a record 
       G            Cadd9 
I need your hand in my hand 
     Em           D 
That eye to eye reflection 
     Em                 D 
Both fights the mad the good the bad 
    G                  C 
The way love hurts and heals 
       G  F  C 
I need real 
           G     F  C 
Yes I need real, oh 



[Verso 2]

            G               Cadd9               Em 
I need your warm skin on my cold heart on a lonely night 
     C                 G 
Just lay it all on the line 
                    Cadd9             Em 
Let it pour out and flood me til that dam breaks 
            C              Em 
Til there's nothing left inside you 
         D 
What you love 
         C 
What you hate 
              C 
I'll take the real 
          Em 
Leave the fake 
           D              G 
I want the sinner and the saint 



[Refrão]
 
             G 
Give me that down south 
     Cadd9 
That soul sound 
    Em              D 
You spinning like a record 
       G            Cadd9 
I need your hand in my hand 
     Em           D 
That eye to eye reflection 
         Em                 D 
Both the fights the mad the good the bad 
    G                  C 
The way love hurts and heals 
       G  F  C 
I need real, oh 
       G  F  C 
I need real, yeah 

            G 
I need that down south 
     Cadd9 
That soul sound 
    Em              D 
You spinning like a record 
       G            Cadd9 
I need your hand in my hand 
     Em           D 
That eye to eye reflection 
     Em                 D 
Both fights the mad the good the bad 
    G                  C 
The way love hurts and heals 
       G  F  C 
I need real    (Give me that real) 
       G  F  C 
I need real, oh 
             G  F  C 
Give me that real
