A#
Mr. Trouble come walkin' this way
                                         D#
Year gone by feels like one long day but I'm alive
                A#
And I'm feelin' all right
Well I run that hard road outta heartbreak city
Built a roadside carnival out of hurt and
                  D#
self-pity, it was all wrong
             A#
Well now I'm moving on

Chorus:
           F
Ain't no church bells ringing
D#             A#
Ain't no flags unfurled
           F                             Cm
It's just me and you and the love we're bringing
         D#
Into the real world
          G#         A#
Into the real world. Oh

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

Chorus

       D#            G#
Well tonight I just wanna shout
           D#                  G#
I feel my soul waist deep and sinking
                 A#
into this black river of doubt
       D#              G#             D#
Oh and I, well I just wanna rise and walk
           G#
along the riverside
              A#                         G#
And when the morning comes baby I don't wanna hide
                 D#
I'll stand right at your side with my arms open wide

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

I wanna find some answers,
I wanna ask for some help
I'm tired or 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 going
with the tumblin' dice

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