Elton John - Ain't nothing Like The real thing

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.
