Verse
E C#m
Stop looking at me that way
E C#m
Cause next thing I know there goes the day
E C#m
Good for nothing when you're around
E C#m
I can't tell which way's up or down
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Do you believe in mercy?
B
Then forgive me for me
A
And though I don't deserve it
B
When you hold me, I'm free
[Chorus]
E
Are you just a sweet talking girl
Calling the white roses red
'Til I've lost everything
E
Even the thoughts in my head
A
Baby, get real
A
Get real, real, real, real
C#m E
Real, real, real, real
[Verse 2]
E
Stopping traffic to kiss me
E
We're a threat to normalcy
E
But is there more to you than sweet?
E
There's only so much candy I can eat
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Do you believe in mercy?
B
Then forgive me for me
A
And though I don't deserve it
B
When you hold me I'm free, like...
E
Are you just a sweet talking girl
N.E
Calling the white roses red
N.E
'Til I've lost everything
E
Even the thoughts in my head
A
Baby, get real
A
Get real, real, real, real
C#m E
Real, real, real, real
E C#m
Just as I approach the top
E C#m
Put me out of business, close up shop
E C#m
Over the cliff, the deepest drop
E C#m
From fast, fast forward to total stop
A
Do you believe in mercy...
E
Are you just a sweet talking girl
N.E
Calling the white roses red
N.E
'Til I've lost everything
E
Even the thoughts in my head
B
Is this an act that you're giving up?
A
Baby, get real
