The Real Damage Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I woke up on a sofa in an unfamiliar house,
[C]surrounded by sleeping folks I didn't know.
[G]On fai[D]ling to find my friends,
I de[Am]cided it [C]was clearly [G]time to [D]go.[G]
So I made my way out of the door as quietly as I could
- there was [C]no one there I knew to say [G]goodbye,
[D]Squinting in the sadly sobering [Am]sunshine
[C]of the Sunday morn[G]ing light.
[D][G]

[Verse 2]
I [C]started the night with all my
friends and I [Am]ended up alone.
I [G]started out so [D]happy now
[C]I'm hungover and down.
It was [D]about then that I realized I was [Am]half-way
through through the [C]best years of [G]my life.

[Verse 3]
[D]I s[G]canned the local landmarks, trying to find out where I was,
and [C]maybe even find a bus [G]back home,
[D]Longing for a shower, and for [Am]clean sheets,
and [C]a charger for my [G]phone.[D][G]
Suddenly it hit me - I got paid this Friday last,
and so I [C]rifled through my pockets for some [G]change.
But [D]all I found was a packet of broken [Am]ci
garettes and [C]a sinking sense of [G]shame.

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][C]

[Verse 4]
[Am]I ha[G]d[D][C][D]
[Am]to
[C]ask [D]myself:[G]
[Bm]Is is really [C]worth [G]it? Is [Bm]any
of this [C]worth [G]it?
Well the [D]whole thing's far [Bm]from [C]perfect,
But I've [Am]yet to [D]figure o[C]ut a better
way to spend [D]my time.
[C][G]

[Verse 5]
[D]
[G]Too many suits and dirty looks made me rack my
brains - the [C]real damage started to [G]sink in.
It'd [D]been quite a heavy weekend and I could
[Am]just about [C]remember where [G]I'd been.
[D]Wel[G]l I sta[C]rted the night with all
my friends and I [Am]ended up alone,
I [G]started out [D]so happy now
I'm [C]hungover and down.
I [D]stood on a street corner
and I [Am]felt a little [C]sick.
It was [D]about then that I realized I was [Am]halfway
through [C]the first day of the week.

[Outro 1]
[G][D][G]
