Real Emotion

C                                     D
 How far can someone fall before they lose it all
Bm                                Em
  How long until you see I am the criminal
C                                  D
 They put a spell on me so I could love you right
Bm                                      Em
  It fought the demons back that has me up at night


[Chorus]
C   D                 Bm              Em
How long will heavy devotion cloud my mind
             C   D                    Bm           Em
Just tell me how long have you waited every single time
       C                    D
Go on ahead, I think you'd agree
           Bm             Em
It's real emotion killing me


[Verse 2]
C                                  D
 For every crooked line there is a chemical
Bm                                         Em
  With every pill I take to try to make me whole
C                                      D
 I'm bound to what I've sown, I am the history
Bm                                   Em
  I try and drink it down but it's a part of me


[Chorus]
C   D                 Bm              Em
How long will heavy devotion cloud my mind
             C   D                    Bm           Em
Just tell me how long have you waited every single time
       C                    D
Go on ahead, I think you'd agree
           Bm             Em
It's real emotion killing me


[Post-Chorus]
    C         D
How long, how long
              Bm
Have you been holding on
              Em
Have you been holding on and on


[Interlude]
C  D  Bm  Em   x2


[Bridge]
  C
I see a garden and a road
D
Evergreen and indigo
Bm                    Em
  If you wait I can be  there
                        C
With miles and miles of flowers planted in a row
D
Love, I'm nearly halfway home
Bm                     Em
  If you wait I will be  there

It's anchored to my racing mind

Maybe you can slow its stride
