Point Me Toward the Real Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]In [Dm]the f[G]ront seat
of your convertible car
[Bb]I'm [G]wait[C]ing your return
[G]Watching sunshine flash
and my cigarette ash
[Bb]Till the c[G]orpora[C]te logo burn[G]s
[Em]You picked me [C]up [Em]at
[G]the County [B]Cook
[C]Psychiatry Institute
It's [G]my first day free,
I've got nowhere [Bb]to be
So I'm [C]coming home with you
[G]

[Verse 2]
Just [Bm]a quick stop off at [C]the drug store
I'm not [A]ready, so I [C]wait in the car for you
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]You ask me who I might lik[Dm]e to see
On [C]my first night back outside
[G]But my friends are few
and [Dm]my lover is through
And my fam[C]ily's horri[G]fied
[Em]We ride along in the s[G]ilent [Bm]dusk
While the [C]moon gets drunk and [Em]high
It's [G]a cold white stone up in heaven [Dm]alone
And I've [C]seen its darker side
[G]

[Verse 4]
You [Bm]ask again and [C]the words come out
So [A]easy, they by[C]pass my
conscious mind
[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]
Point me toward to the real,
[C]motherfuckers[G]
Point me toward to the [C]real[G]
I've been lied to and [Em]abused
[Am]Time to try to heal[C]
Cut me [G]loose, cut me [Dm]loose[Em]
Let me get her, [F]let me feel
[C]Cut my bound hands fre[Am]e, and[C]
Point me toward the real
[G]Now

[Verse 6]
[Dm]ever[G] sin[Dm]ce[G]
I was a [F]little child (ooh)
I [C]have felt the same old [G]fear (ooh)
That I alone would freeze while
[F]the world proceeds [C](ooh)
I'll be forever stuck right
[G]here [C](ooh)
But I can't [Em]live the [G]old way (oo[Bm]h)
That way [G]nearly [C]left me
[Em]dead [C](ooh)
I need [G]someone new who [F]can tell
me the truth (ooh)
[C]And I don't care who it [G]is (ooh)
And I [Bm]want the knife in deep

[Verse 7]
[C],
[A]oh (ooh)
And I want [C]someone to give it
[D]a twist [G](ooh)

[Verse 8]
I'm coming into [Dm]the city now
And I've [C]only said it [G]once
It's a phrase so clean I
[Dm]don't know what it means
But it's [C]more than I've
said in [G]months
[Em]You never ask what I did t[Bm]hat made
The [G]cops [C]finally pick me up[Em]
[G]You wanna know where
I'm [Dm]trying to go
Where I'll [C]be, not where I was
[G]

[Verse 9]
[Bm]I say it one more time,
[C]you nod and smi[A]le
And it's [C]better than on the drugs
[D]

[Verse 10]
[G]
Point me toward to [C]the real,
[G]motherfuckers (ahh)
Point me toward to the [C]real [G](ahh)
I've been lied to [Em]and
[Am]abused (ahh)
Time to try to [C]heal (ahh)
Cut me [G]loose, cut me [Dm]loose [Em](ahh)
See what freedom [F]might [C]reveal (ahh)
Cut my bound hands [Am]free, [C]and
Point me toward the real
[G]Ah [Dm]h, ah[F] h[G], ah[Dm]h,[Gm][G][Dm]
[F]ahh[G][Dm]
