The Real Thing

D
I think I met somebody, oh, wait a minute
Bb             C
He ain't ready for it, oh
D
Why's it so hard to find someone to treat me right?
Bb                      G
Feels like this happens every time (Every time)


[Pre-Chorus]
        D                              Bb
And I'm over all these four-day love affairs
C
Baby, it's not fair
    D                        Bb
I'm worthy of a lot and I'm aware
   G
So baby, if you care
D                         Bb               C
 You gotta love me, gotta love me 'til you don't know how
D                        Bb            G    D
 You gotta love me, only love me and nobody else


[Chorus]
                           Bb
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
         C               D
Only the real thing will do
                           Bb
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
         G
Only the real thing with you
D                          Bb
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
         C               D
Only the real thing will do
                           Bb
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
         G
Only the real thing


[Verse 2]
D
A never ending quest, it's so frustratin'
Bb               C
I keep mistaking boys for men
D
I won't be settlin', no, not for anything
Bb                   G
'Cause I need one-hundred percent


[Pre-Chorus]
        D                              Bb
And I'm over all these four-day love affairs
C
Baby, it's not fair
    D                        Bb
I'm worthy of a lot and I'm aware
   G
So baby, if you care
D                         Bb               C
 You gotta love me, gotta love me 'til you don't know how
D                        Bb            G    D
 You gotta love me, only love me and nobody else


[Chorus]
                           Bb
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
         C               D
Only the real thing will do
                           Bb
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
         G               D
Only the real thing with you
                           Bb
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
         C               D
Only the real thing will do
                           Bb
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
         G
Only the real thing


[Bridge]
D
I'm looking for it
Bb        C
I'll know it when I have it

I'm looking for it
Bb        G
I'll know it when I find it


[Pre-Chorus]
D                         Bb               C
 You gotta love me, gotta love me 'til you don't know how
