Yes I am
I hope you think you read me
Hope I start talking crazy
Before you understand me
Are we through
You think that I'm beneath you
But you like the things that I do
Well wrap 'em up and take 'em with you

F#
I'm alright
Hope I can sleep for one night
If not to cool my insides
Maybe to calm my backside
Rain on me
I got a weakness in me
I think that weakness feeds me
I don't think you think you need me

E
Sunshine
B
You're the best time
F#
I ever, ever had
But I think I made you feel bad
E             B
The black fly on your necktie
D
Time after time

Chorus:
             F#          B
But when the sun starts sinkin'
         E         B
On your beautiful soul
         F#       B
Make me cry, cry baby
          E       B
Make you feel so cold
           F#          B
Don't you know it's alright
           E                B           E
Sometimes you just got to show how you feel
                   B
'Cause that's you baby
                 F#
Hell, you're so real

Run this round in your head
Like you don't know what's on the inside
You don't know me too well
You ain't seen my bad side
Shame on me
Shame on the things that I'd be
If you could complicate me
If you could get inside me

Sometimes
You're the best time
I've ever, ever known
A pretty girl with a wicked smile on
But I've cried
For the last time
Something just don't feel right

Chorus:
             F#          B
But when the sun starts sinkin'
         E         B
On your beautiful soul
         F#       B
Make me cry, cry baby
          E       B
Make you feel so cold
           F#          B
Don't you know it's alright
           E                B           E
Sometimes you just got to show how you feel
                   B
'Cause that's you baby
                 Bm
Hell, you're so real

Bm                    F#
You always know just who you are
Bm                F#
You never needed someone else
      G#m7      Bm
To realize yourself

Chorus:
             F#          B
But when the sun starts sinkin'
         E         B
On your beautiful soul
         F#       B
Make me cry, cry baby
          E       B
Make you feel so cold
           F#          B
Don't you know it's alright
           E                B           E
Sometimes you just got to show how you feel
                   B
'Cause that's you baby
                 F#  B  E
Hell, you're so real

       B               F#  B  E
Yeah, baby, you're so real

So real, so real

Oh, God, yeah
 B
Yeah
 E
Yeah
 B  F#
Oh!
