Dm/C C/Bb
But in the real world
Bb F [and repeat ad nauseum]
Were hiding alone and ashamed
And we cant live while
Because were addicted to pain
You see I cannot feel this
No matter how you try
In the real world
We cant deny
V2 [back to palm-muted]
In the pretend world
We gaze into empty eyes
We have to amuse ourselves
With adultery tales and white lies
[PreC/C: cleaner or strum pattern]
But in the real world
Where fools tormented for sport
We just stitch up our mouths
So we cant admit or retort
You see I cannot say this
Please don't ask me why
In the real world
We cant deny
You see I cannot feel this
No matter how you try
In the real world
We cant deny
You see I cannot say this
Please don't ask me why
In the real world
We cant deny
[palm muted, softly: ]
In my pretend world
We all are very awake
In this atmosphere
We all look starstruck and vague
You see I never loved you
No matter how you tried
In the real world
There's no goodbye
