A# Mr. Trouble come walkin' this way D# Year gone by feels like one long day but I'm alive A# And I'm feelin' all right Well I run that hard road outta heartbreak city Built a roadside carnival out of hurt and D# self-pity, it was all wrong A# Well now I'm moving on Chorus: F Ain't no church bells ringing D# A# Ain't no flags unfurled F Cm It's just me and you and the love we're bringing D# Into the real world G# A# Into the real world. Oh I built a shrine in my heart, it wasn't pretty to see Made out of fool's gold, memory, and tears cried Now I'm heading over the rise I'm searching for one clear moment of love and truth I still got a little faith, but what I need is some proof tonight I'm lookin' for it in your eyes Chorus D# G# Well tonight I just wanna shout D# G# I feel my soul waist deep and sinking A# into this black river of doubt D# G# D# Oh and I, well I just wanna rise and walk G# along the riverside A# G# And when the morning comes baby I don't wanna hide D# I'll stand right at your side with my arms open wide D# G# Well tonight I just wanna shout D# G# I feel my soul waist deep and sinking into A# this black river of doubt D# G# D# Yeah I, well I just wanna rise and walk along G# the riverside A# 'Til the morning comes F I'll stand right by your side I wanna find some answers, I wanna ask for some help I'm tired or running scared, baby, let's get our bags packed We'll take it here to hell and heaven and back And if love is hopeless, hopeless at best Come on put on your party dress It's ours tonight and we're going with the tumblin' dice Chorus: Ain't no church bells ringing Ain't no flags unfurled Just me and you and the love we're bringing Into the real world Into the real world Oh into the real world You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  Cm  D#  F  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
