         C
They're putting up the chairs too close,
                         G
she let me settle up my tab
   C
I told her button up it's cold,
                                G
I ain't too drunk to hail us a cab
       Am
We can get a cup of coffee
                           D
unless you gotta get back home.

Sitting across that table,
a gypsy couldn't read her mind
I took her hand and told her
I just wanna crawl into your eyes
She shook her head and said,
“It's cold”; cold is just a cheap disguise

Chorus:
                       G
Have you ever known a real love?
                                 D
The kind of love that makes you feel, love?
                             C
No, this ain't let's make a deal, love
                             D
It'd make an angel give his wings up
                                G
It makes you guilty 'cause you want more
                               D
If it's a kiss that you would die for
                                        C
Feels like you're falling through the stars
                        D
If it could break your heart
      G
It's real love

We drank that muddy pot of coffee,
it was morning when I walked her home
I've never been this lonely,
lying in this bed alone
Her words still ringing in my head,
her sad eyes sunk me like a stone

Chorus

      Am                         C
I put on that same shirt, and I ran out the door
         G
Stole a fistful of roses from the sidewalk store
              Am                     G/B
With just my heart in my hand, I had nothing to prove
         C
Standing up on her front steps calling to her window

Chorus

Feels like you're falling through the stars
If it can break your heart
It's real love
