welcome to the real world kid Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
She was a [D]screamer and a moaner
I was a [G]dreamer and a loner
I don't [D]know how we got together,
but we [A]did
She wore a [D]fancy diamond choker,
the queen of [G]hearts, I was the choker
I [D]saw the marked cards
in her stacked deck,
but I can't [A]tell you how
she kept her aces hid
She drew the [G]line, I guess [D]I crossed it,
I did [G]all I had and [A]lost it
And she said,
[G]welcome to the rea[A]l world, kid[Bm]
She said, [G]welcome to the [A]real world, [D]kid
I tried to shake off my aches and pains
I tried the [G]highways, I tried the trains
I don't know [D]how they,
they always found me
Oh, but they [A]did

[Verse 2]
They'll have you [D]standing

[Verse 3]
They'll have you [D]kneeling

[Verse 4]
They'll rub your [G]face in
Your deepest feelings

[Verse 5]
It's all that [D]holds
Your heart together

[Verse 6]
You might [A]deny it

[Verse 7]
But you'll never keep it [A]hidden

[Verse 8]
You can't out[G]run it

[Verse 9]
You can't out[D]race it

[Verse 10]
It's just like [G]music

[Verse 11]
You gotta face [A]it
When they [G]say, to the [A]real world, [Bm]kid
They [G]say, welcome to [A]the real world,
[D]kid[G][D]
[A][G][D][G][A][G][A]
[Bm][G][A][D]
She's a precious cooker, a snappy looker,
My friends mis[G]took her for a happy hooker
I don't know [D]how they got that idea
But they [A]did
I smelled [D]trouble the very minute
I real[G]ized my nose was in it
I closed my [D]eyes to the hot truth
But nothing [A]changed
no matter what I did
I took a step [G]back and then another[D],
and then an[G]other, and then an[A]other
She said, [G]welcome to the [A]real world, [Bm]kid
She said, [G]welcome to the [A]real world, [D]kid
A virgin forest and a virgin birth
From Mother [G]Mary and Mother Earth
I don't know [D]how they got the same man
But they [A]did
I see her [D]face up in the clouds
I see her [G]eyes in every crowd
But when [D]she held me in her arms
she, she made me [A]promise
not to tell her what she knew
I said, is this [G]all?
She said, yes it [D]is
And what's more, [G]what is, is all there [A]is
And she said,
[G]welcome to the [A]real world, [Bm]kid
She said, [G]welcome to the [A]real world, [D]kid
She was a screamer and a moaner
I was a [G]dreamer and a loner
I don't know [D]how we got together
Although it [A]did, yeah, it did
She wore a [D]fancy diamond choker
A queen of [G]hearts, I was the choker
I saw her [D]mark cards in her stack deck
But I can't [A]tell you how
she kept her aces hid
She drew the [G]line, I guess I [D]crossed it
I [G]bet all I had and [A]lost it
And she said,
[G]welcome to the rea[A]l world, kid[Bm].
She said, [G]welcome to [A]the real world,
[D]kid.[G][A][Bm][G][A]
[D]
