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
