Mr. Trouble come walkin' this way
Bb

Year gone by feels like one long day but I'm alive
Eb

And I'm feelin' all right

Well I run that hard road outta heartbreak city

Built a roadside carnival out of hurt and self-pity, it was all wrong
Eb

Well now I'm moving on
Bb


Ain't no church bells ringing
Ab

Ain't no flags unfurled
Eb Bb

It's just me and you and the love we're bringing
Ab Eb

Into the real world
Bb

Into the real world
Ab Bb


(rest of song continues same way until otherwise noted)

I built a shrine in my heart, iasn't pretty to see
Made out of fool's gold memory and tears cried
Now I'm headin' over the rise
I'm searchin' 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

Ain't no church bells ringing
Ain't no flags unfurled
Just me and you and the faith we're bringing into the real world
Into the real world

Ab Bb

Well tonight I just wanna shout
Eb Ab

I feel my soul waist deep and sinking into this black river of doubt
Eb Ab Bb

I just wanna rise and walk along the riverside
Eb Ab Eb Ab

And when the morning comes baby I don't wanna hide
Bb Ab

I'll stand right at your side with my arms open wide
Eb Bb

(killer guitar solo here)

Well tonight I just wanna shout
I feel my soul waist deep and sinking into this black river of doubt
I just wanna rise and walk along the riverside
'Til the morning comes
I'll stand right by your side


I wanna find some answers I wanna ask for some help
I'm tired of 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 goin' with the tumblin' dice

Ain't no church bells ringing
Ain't no flags unfurled
It's just me and you and the hope we're bringing into the real world
Well into the real world
Oh into the real world
