The Real Me
Rosanne Cash
Key of C

intro    C   Am    F    G    (repeat)

       C                     Am           G                   C
verse1 I don't know what you feel no more when you look in my eyes
       C                            Am                   G
       I know I'm the same girl who walked out that door, but I'm brand new
               FM7
             inside
       C                           Am             G                        C
       Maybe what I'm sayin' ain't true after all, I take it a minute at a time
       C                      Am                F               G
       Maybe all I want is to hold you right now with no compromise



                   Dm   G    C       C(B)     Am
chorus This is the real me, breakin' down at last
                     Dm   G    C       C(B)      Am
       Hey, it's the real me, crawlin' out of my past
                 Dm   G                 Dm   G           Am         G
       Baby, the real me...   wants the real you...   so bad



verse2 The numbness overcomes me now like alcohol and fear
       And I want to crawl inside you, baby, but I don't want you near
       A woman's her own mystery, not a shadow of her man
       But I'm not a queen inside a mirror no more, I'm not a guard to hold
             hand

chorus



       Dm                 G                  C      C(B)         Am
bridge Well, I've got no answers now, and I don't expect them of you
       Dm                     G                         F
       Thank God for second chances, baby, coz there's something I can give to
             G
             you



chorus And it's the real me, breakin' down at last
       Hey, it's the real me, crawlin' out of my past
       Baby, the real me...   wants the real you...   so bad
       Baby, the real me...   wants the real you...   so bad



Again, haven't played this one in a long time, so look for mistakes.
