this is my best guess at how jeff plays "so real", in case anyone cares:) i
figured this out by watching jeff's hands in videos and trying to play it.
it all sounds pretty close. i'm not sure about the second chorus chord
though.

standard tuning

but i think the VERSEs are (partly based on Paul Leddy's version):

F#7 F#7sus4 B F# G Csus2 Bm/G
e--xx---xx------xx--xx--3---8-----7---
b--11---12------12--7---3---8-----7---
G--9----9-------11--6---0---0-----0--- then repeats.
D--11---11------9---4---0---0-----0---
A--xx---xx------xx--xx--xx--xx----xx--
E--xx---xx------11--6---3---8-----7---

this is my CHORUS (partly based on Paul Leddy's version):
A A7sus4
e--xx--5--
b--8---5--
G--7---0--
D--5---0--
A--xx--xx-
E--7---5--

the WIERD DISTORTED INTERLUDE is something around an A diad, like:

e----
b----
G----
D--7- (bend the hell out of this)
A--0-
E----

while the other guitar plays this over and over again:

e--xx--
b--8---
G--7---
D--5---
A--xx--
E--7---

finally, the CHORUSII is something like this:
Em Dmaj7 Dsus4/C# D6 Dmaj7/E Gmaj7b5/E G7 D6
e------x-----x---------x--x-------x---------x---x
b------0-----2---------3--7-------8---------5---3
G------0-----0---------2--6-------6---------4---2
D--2---0-----0---------0--0-------0---------0---0 these last two repeat
A--2---x-----x---------3--7-------7---------5---3 every other time
E--0---2-----3---------x--x-------x---------x---x

and this is how it all goes together:

INTRO

F#7 F#7sus4 B F# G Csus2 Bm/G
Love, let me sleep tonight on you couch

F#7 F#7sus4 B F# G Csus2 Bm/G
And remember the smell of the fabric of your simple city dress

A A7sus4
Oh... That was so real x3

F#7 F#7sus4 B F# G Csus2 Bm/G
F#7 F#7sus4 B F# G Csus2 Bm/G
We walked around 'til the moon got full like a plate.

F#7 F#7sus4 B F# G Csus2 Bm/G
The wind blew an invocation and I fell asleep at the gate

F#7 F#7sus4
... And I never stepped on the cracks 'cause I thought I'd hurt my mother
B F# G Csus2 Bm/G

F#7 F#7sus4
... And I couldn't awake from the nightmare
B F# G Csus2 Bm/G
That sucked me in and pulled me under...Pulled me under

A A7sus4
Oh... That was so real x3

WIERD DISTORTED INTERLUDE

F#7 F#7sus4
I love you
B F# G Csus2 Bm/G
But I'm afraid to love you

F#7 F#7sus4
I love you
B F# G Csus2 Bm/G
But I'm afraid to love you...

A A7sus4
Oh... That was so real x3

|Em Dmaj7 Dsus4/C# D6 Dmaj7/E Gmaj7b5/E G7 D6 G7 D6
|reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal (oh that was so real)
|
|Em Dmaj7 Dsus4/C# D6 Dmaj7/E Gmaj7b5/E G7 D6
| oh that was so reeeeeal
|<---x3

didn't waste too much of your mailbox space:)
