Verse 1:

C G7 C F Up the hill past 694, at the stone wall make a left, C G7 F G7 C and I will see you soon my friend if these old directions still direct (oh yeah) F G7 C If these old directions still direct. C G7 C F Is the problem that we can't see or is it that the problem is beautiful to me? C G7 The birds of Virginia are flying within you F G7 C and like background singers they all come in threes. F G7 C C7 And like background singers they all come in threes.

Pre-Chorus

Dm Won't soul music change C C7 now that our souls have turned strange. F D7/F# Once a day, twice a day... Dm And when on and off collide C C7 F we'll set our souls aside and walk away.
A Asus4 A Dm We've been raised on replicas of fake and winding roads G and day after day up on this beautiful stage Em we've been playing tambourine for minimum wage Am but we are real, Em We are real, Am I know we are real.

Verse 2:

C G7 C F Repair is the dream of the broken thing. C G7 Like a message broadcast on an overpass F G7 C all my favorite singers couldn't sing. F G7 C All my favorite singers couldn't sing. C G7 C My ski vest has buttons like convenience store mirrors F and they help me see, C G7 that everything in this room right now F G7 C is a part of me. F G7 C C7 is a part of me.

Pre-Chorus

Dm Won't soul music change C C7 now that our souls have turned strange. F D7/F# Once a day, twice a day... Dm And when on and off collide C C7 F we'll set our souls aside and walk away.
A Asus4 A Dm Realizing is how it feels inside when it happens to you. G So I took a shot of sugar like snow dumped into the blood Em and children wander off into the ultra-economic Am but we are real, Em We are real Am I know we are real, Em I know we are real, Am Em I know we are real, real, real, real, real, real, real... Am I know we are real.
