[Verse 1]
Bm                              D     E
  Why can't I get it through my head?
Bm                                 D   E
  A screen can't give what it promises
Bm                          D     E
  I keep on falling for the trick
Bm                         A
  Time after time and time again, again


[Chorus]
Bm       D         A       E
  I want the truth, I want the real thing
Bm       D              A       E
  I want the genuine to hold to the light
Bm           D
  In a world that keeps us faking
A           E
  Illuminate, reveal what I'm chasing
Bm                D
  It's paper thin, only deep as skin
A                 E
  I'm done with it, counterfeits


[Verse 2]
Bm                         D     E
  In this land of milk and honey
Bm                           D    E
  I gave up love to chase my lust, oh yeah
Bm                          D     E
  I treated sex like it was money, yeah
Bm                      A/C#
  And I could never get enough, enough


[Chorus]
Bm       D         A       E
  I want the truth, I want the real thing
Bm       D              A       E
  I want the genuine to hold to the light
Bm           D
  In a world that keeps us faking
A           E
  Illuminate, reveal what I'm chasing
Bm                D
  It's paper thin, only deep as skin
A                 E
  I'm done with it, counterfeits


[Bridge]
N.C.
Lights, camera, action, make it hard to tell
N.C.
What is imitation or simply for sale
Bm                       D          E
Pleasure in pictures are promise to fill
       Bm                          D             E
But if it don't cost me nothing, I know it's not real

[Chorus]
Bm       D         A       E
  I want the truth, I want the real thing
Bm       D              A       E
  I want the genuine to hold to the light
Bm           D
  In a world that keeps us faking
A           E
  Illuminate, reveal what I'm chasing
Bm                D
  It's paper thin, only deep as skin
A                 E
  I'm done with it, counterfeits
Bm                D
  It's paper thin, only deep as skin
A                 E
  I'm done with it, counterfeits
