A                                                 E 
They're putting up the chairs too close, she let me settle up my tab 
  A                                                     E 
I told her button up it's cold, I ain't too drunk to hail us a cab 
       F#m                                             B 
We can get a cup of coffee unless you gotta get back home? 
 
A                                             E 
Sitting across that table, a gypsy couldn't read her mind 
 A                                                 E 
I took her hand and told her I just wanna crawl into your eyes 
      F#m                                                           B 
She shook her head and said, (It's cold); cold is just a cheap disguise 
 
                       E 
Have you ever known a real love? 
                                 B 
The kind of love that makes you feel, love? 
                             A 
No, this ain't let's make a deal, love 
                             B 
It'd make an angel give his wings up 
                                E 
It makes you guilty 'cause you want more 
                               B 
If it's a kiss that you would die for 
                                        A 
Feels like you're falling through the stars 
                        B 
If it could break your heart 
      E 
It's real love 
 
              A                                             E 
We drank that muddy pot of coffee; it was colder when I walked her home 
     A                                    E 
I've never been this lonely, lying in this bed alone 
    F#m                                                          B 
Her words still ringing in my head, a sea of blackness like a stone 
 
                            E 
Have you ever known a real love? 
                                 B 
The kind of love that makes you feel, love? 
                             A 
No, this ain't let's make a deal, love 
                             B 
It'd make an angel give his wings up 
                                   E 
If it makes you guilty 'cause you want more 
                               B 
If it's a kiss that you would die for 
                                        A 
Feels like you're falling through the stars 
                      B 
If it can break your heart 
      E 
It's real love 
 
      F#m                        A 
I put on that same shirt, and I ran out the door 
         E 
Stole a fistful of roses from the sidewalk store 
              F#m                     G#m 
With just my heart in my hand, I had nothing to prove 
         A 
Standing up on her front steps calling to her window? 
 
                       E 
Have you ever known a real love? 
                                 B 
The kind of love that makes you feel, love? 
                             A 
No, this ain't let's make a deal, love 
                             B 
It'd make an angel give his wings up 
                                E 
It makes you guilty 'cause you want more 
                                 B 
If there's a kiss that you will die for 
                                        A 
Feels like you're falling through the stars 
                      B 
If it can break your heart 
      E 
It's real love 
 
                                 A 
Feels like you're falling through the stars 
                      B 
If it can break your heart 
      E 
It's real love
