[Intro 1]
[G][Am][G][Am]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]Everybody,
everybody wants to know
[Am]Where you going to
What you running from
[G]What you going through
Where you coming from
What you going through

[Verse 2]
Where you coming from
[Bm]Everybody, everybody wants to know
[Am]What you gonna do
Where you going to
[G]'Cause they wanna come
Where I'm showing you
Yes, they wanna come

[Verse 3]
Where I'm showing you
[Bm]All that you could be is a spectacle
[Am]Following after every single miracle
[G]Watch them marvel at
All the joy you have
But they're too important to
have all the joy you have
[Bm]What a tragedy, you can laugh at m[Am]e,
you can laugh at me

[Verse 4]
But I'm [G]in love
Yes, I'm in love
Don't you wish you had
[Bm]real [Am]love
Yes, I'm [G]in love

[Verse 5]
[Bm]Tryna fix myself for society
[Am]Tryna mix myself for society
[G]But can you tell me where
is love in anxiety?
Can you tell me where is love in [Bm]anxiety?

[Verse 6]
What you say to me I don't mind at all
[Am]
What you say to me
I don't really care [G]at all
'Cause I'm in love
Don't you wish you had
[Bm]real [Am]love?
I know you do
Yes, [G]I'm in love

[Verse 7]
[Bm]Watch them speculate
All the life you live
[Am]Watch them try to hate
All the love [G]you give

[Verse 8]
All the love you give
[Bm]Everybody, everybody wants to know
[Am]Where you going to
'Cause they wanna [G]come
Or so they think,
until they find the cost of it
'Till they found out,
found out what you lost [Bm]for it
And I'll do it all [Am]again
'Cause I [G]found love
'Cause I found love
Don't you wish you [Bm]had real love?
[Am]I know you do
Yes, I'm [G]in love

[Verse 9]
[Bm]Everybody, everybody wants to know
[Am]Where you going to
What you running from
[G]What you going through
Where you coming from
What you going through
Where you're coming [Bm]from

[Verse 10]
Everybody, everybody wants [Am]to know
What you gonna do
Where you going to
[G]'Cause they wanna come
Where I'm showing you
Yes, they wanna come

[Verse 11]
Where I'm showing you
[Bm]All that you could be is a spectacle
[Am]Following after every single miracle
[G]Watch them marvel at
All the joy you have
But they're too important to
have all [Bm]the joy you have
What a tragedy, you can laugh [Am]at
me, you can laugh at me

[Verse 12]
But I'm [G]in love
Yes, I'm in love
Don't you wish you [Bm]had real love?
[Am]I know you do
Yes, I'm in [G]love

[Verse 13]
[Bm]So what you say to me,
I don't even mind at all
[Am]What you say to me,
I don't even care at [G]all
'Cause I'm in love
Don't you wish you had
[Bm]real [Am]love?
I know you do
Don't you [G]wish you had

[Interlude 1]
real love?
[G][Bm][Am][G]

[Verse 14]
These [Bm]broken thoughts in my [Am]mind
Can't let them get [G]down in there
Can't let them get down in there
These broken [Bm]thoughts in my [Am]mind
Can't let them get [G]down in there
Can't let them get down in there
'Cause I need real [Bm]love[Am]
I need real [G]love
[Bm]I'm guarding,
[Am]guarding the g[G]ates
[Bm]

[Verse 15]
[Am]
Oh, I'm guarding [G]my gates
