Verse 1:
[Am7] No I think I’ll stay in [Dm7] tonight
[G] Skip the conversations and the “oh, I’m [C] fine’s” [C/B]
[Am7] No I’m no stranger to [Dm7] surprise
This [G] paper town has let me down too many [C] times [C/B]
Why do I [Am7] even try, give me a [Dm7] reason why
I [G] thought that I could trust you, never [C] mind [C/B]
Why all the [Am7] switching sides, where do I [Dm7] draw the line?
I [G] guess I’m too naive to read the [C] signs [C/B]
Chorus 1:
I’m just lookin’ for some [Am7] real friends
All they ever do is [Dm7] let me down
Every time I let [G] somebody in
Then I find out what they’re [C] all about [C/B]
I’m just lookin’ for some [Am7] real friends
Wonder where they’re all [Dm7] hidin’ out
I’m just lookin’ for some [G] real friends
Gotta get up out of [C] this town [C/B]
Post-Chorus 1:
[Am7] [Dm7] Oh
[G] [C] Yeah [C/B]
Verse 2:
I [Am7] stay up, talkin’ to the [Dm7] moon
Been [G] feelin’ so alone in every crowded [C] room [C/B]
[Am7] Can’t help but feel like something’s [Dm7] wrong, yeah
[G] ‘Cause the place I’m livin’ in just [C] doesn’t feel like home
Chorus:
I’m just lookin’ for some [Am7] real friends
All they ever do is [Dm7] let me down
Every time I let [G] somebody in
Then I find out what they’re [C] all about [C/B]
I’m just lookin’ for some [Am7] real friends
Wonder where they’re all [Dm7] hidin’ out
I’m just lookin’ for some [G] real friends
Gotta get up out of [C] this town [C/B]
Post-Chorus 2:
[Am7] [Dm7] Oh
[G] [C] Lookin’ for some [C/B] real friends
[Am7] [Dm7] Ahh-ahh
[G] [C] Ahh-[C/B] ahh
Bridge:
[Am7] I just wanna talk about nothin’ with
somebody that [Dm7] means something
[G] Spell the names of all our dreams and
demons for the times that I [C] don’t understand [C/B]
[Am7] Tell me what’s the point of a moon
like this when I’m [Dm7] alone again?
[G] Can I run away to somewhere beautiful where nobody [C] knows my name?
Chorus:
I’m just lookin’ for some [Am7] real friends
All they ever do is [Dm7] let me down
Every time I let [G] somebody in
Then I find out what they’re [C] all about [C/B]
I’m just lookin’ for some [Am7] real friends
Wonder where they’re all [Dm7] hidin’ out
I’m just lookin’ for some [G] real friends
Gotta get up out of [C] this town [C/B]
Outro:
[Am7] [Dm7] Oh (ahh-ahh)
[G] [C] Ahh-ahh [C/B]
[Am7] [Dm7] Yeah
[G] [C] Ahh-ah
