The Real Me

Rosanne Cash

Key of C

intro C Am F G (repeat)

verse1 I don't know what you feel no more when you look in my eyes

I know I'm the same girl who walked out that door, but I'm brand new

inside

Maybe what I'm sayin' ain't true after all, I take it a minute at a time

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

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

Dm G C C(B) Am

bridge Well, I've got no answers now, and I don't expect them of you

Thank God for second chances, baby, coz there's something I can give to

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.
