 D         Em7 C
Faith lies in
     D       Em7 C
The ways of sin
    D          Em7  C
I chased the charmed
             D           Em7  C
But I don’t want them anymore (Yeah, yeah)

Em G                       D
And in their eyes, I was alive
A             G
A fool’s disguise
E5\m                A
Take me away from you

And shame my tongue
Fat with promise all along
When I woke up from that sleep
I was happier than I’d ever been

Chorus:
      D    Em C
When you decide
           D          Em C
That your life is a prize
   D         Em C
Renew and revive
         D
It’s alright, honey
        Em     G
It’s alright, yeah

Happiness will make you wonder
Will I feel okay?
It scares the disenchanted, far
Away

Yeah, I want something new
But what am I supposed to do about you?
Yeah, I love you
It's true
Life's a bummer
When you're a hummer
Life's a drag, yeah, yeah

Ask yourself a question
Anyone but me, I ain't free
Ask yourself a question
Anyone but me, I ain't free
Do you feel
Love is real?
