Something FreaFmaj7l to   F7cause your heart to Bbrush with love
And Bbmcause your mouth to Frush to mine and Gmmake your eyes
IgCnore what isn't Freal
DBut all my life I've failed to take advantage of my time
And time is moving faster than the eye can see
If Fwe could only tell each other every other day
There'd G#never be a reason to be Cleaving
Chorus
Just something to hold on to when we are both afraid
Something to believe in when we think we've got it made
Some things never change, the doubt that lingers in your mind
Sometimes when you're down and out you leave the truth behind
Chorus +
Just something real to show that I still feel.
