Strum
D-DU-UDU
Don't  know why I thought  you'd save the day,  cuz if anything
you  were always meant  to walk away,  away
 And I don't  know what we're fighting  for,
 cuz it's not  what I want anymore,
I  don't know why I thought  you'd save the day,  the day
 (prechorus)
 I never loved you anyway,
 Just wanted who you promised you could be.
 (Chorus)
 I wanna feel  the sting,  of the real thing.
 Instead of the false alarm  when i was in  your arms,
 When you left  last night,  I did my best  to cry,
 But I never felt  that sting,
I'm  still waiting on the real thing.
Wooooooooah oh  oh, wooooaaahhhh
 (verse2)
Baby  you don't mean  a thing to me, anymore.
Cuz  now I gotta reason  to believe  in waitin  for,
 A trust  that never needs  a ring,
 the one  who tells me everything,
But  baby you could never  be that for me,  for me.
 (prechorus 2)
 Because you never loved me anyway,
 you just wanted who you got to be with me.
 (Chorus)
 I wanna feel  the sting,  of the real thing.
 Instead of the false alarm  when i was in  your arms,
 When you left  last night,  I did my best  to cry,
 But I never felt  that sting,
I'm  still waiting on the real thing.
 (bridge)
I  thought it was more than what it was,
you  swore we'd never come undone,
 but I'll wait a long time if forever's  what it takes for something  real.
 (chorus 2)
 I'm still waitin to feel  the sting,  of the real thing.
 Instead of the false alarm  when i was in  your arms,
 When you left  last night,  I did my best  to cry,
 But I never felt  that sting,
I'm  still waiting on the real thing.
I'm  waitin, still  waitin,
woah oh  oh
I'm  waitin, still  waitin,
I'm  waitin on the real  thing.
