E B/E F#m/E E F#m/E E Amaj7 F#m7

Ain't nothing like the real thing, ba-by. Ain't nothing like the real thing.

Ain't nothing like the real thing, ba-by. Ain't nothing like the real thing.

E9 E F#m7 E/G# A Absus Ab

I got your picture hanging on my wall but it can't sing, or come to me -

C#m Bm7 Amaj7 A E

when I call your name. I realized it's just a picture in a frame.

E F#m7 E/G# A

I read your letters but you're not here. They don't move me,

Absus Ab C#m Bm7 Amaj7 A E

they don't prove it like when I hear your sweet voice whispering in my ear.

E F#m7 E/G# A Absus Ab C#m

I play my games of fan-ta-sy. I've been down. I don't see reality.

Bm7 Amaj7 A E

I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me

E F#m7 E/G# A Absus Ab

I got some memories to look back on, though they help me when you're gone

C#m Bm7 Amaj7 A E

I'm well aware nothing can take the place of you being there.

Abm Ab/C C#m

No other sound - is quite the same as your name.

E7/B Amaj7 E/B C#m7 E/F#

No touch can do half as much - to make me feel better.

F#9 A/B B A/B B A/B B A/B B

Let's stay together. Ah, ah. Ooh.

E B/E F#m/E E F#m/E E Amaj7 F#m7

Ain't nothing like the real thing, ba-by. Ain't nothing like the real thing.

So glad we got the real thing, ba-by. So glad we got the real thing.
