Em
Tell me do you think about me
Bm                      D
When I'm lying on your heart?
Em
Tell me do you dream about me
Bm                                  D
When you sleep out underneath the stars?

'Cause I don't want a hollow smile
I want all that's on your face
And I don't only want to love you
I want something that I can't replace

Chorus:
       G
Yeah I want to
D/F#        Em
know what's real
       D/F#
What's been
G   D/F#
purified to
Em       D
heal My wounds
              Em  Bm D Em Bm D
Tell me is it you?

Saw you on the street one summer evening
You were empty as could be
You were lying in the road
Just waiting for the cars to set you free

You asked me if we could run away
Some place nobody would know
But I don't wanna be your fool
If you're not the one who's gonna take me home

Chorus:
Yeah, I want to know what's real
What I'm so damn scared to feel
Yeah, I want to know what's real
What's been purified to heal my wounds
Tell me is it you?
Tell me is it you?
Tell me is it you?
Tell me is it you?
