IMPORTANT NOTES:
Other versions of this tab were pretty close, but I'm a Mat Kearney nut and I'm
also a perfectionist. I study the way Mat plays the guitar, and I know his chord
choices quite well.

Verse 1:
A5 G5 F5 C5
Your poker face ain?t fooling nobody, nobody here
A5 G5 F5 C5
We?ve all felt the flame and shed those same tears

Driving home to a one man hell, still counting years, still counting years

Hey brother we?re all learning to love again

Chorus 1:
A5 G5 F5 C5
?Cause that was the real you running through the fields of gold wide open
A5 G5 F5 C5
Standing in places no picture contains
A5 G5 F5 C5
That was the real you, windows down, we could smell the mint fields crying
A5 G5 F5 C5
Singin' with the radio to a song we can?t name
A5 G5 F5 C5
That was the real you saying, ?Maybe I?m not too young to be a cowboy.?

Hey brother we?re all learning to love again

Verse 2: (Same as Verse 1)
Making up your bed that day on a foreign floor between foreign walls
Thinking ?bout the words you?d say to a phone that never calls
Feel the weight of your father?s ring and all those dreams, and all those dreams
Hey brother, we?re all learning to love again
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chorus 2: (Same as Chorus 1)
?Cause that was the real you running through the fields of gold wide open
Standing in places no picture contains
That was the real you, windows down, we could smell the mint fields crying
Singin' with the radio to a song we can?t name
That was the real you saying, ?Maybe I?m not to young too be a cowboy.?
Hey brother, we?re all learning to love again
Hey brother, we?re all learning to love again

Verse/Chorus (Same as Verse 1,2 and Chorus 1,2)
?Cause that was the real you standing there in the shape of your body
Fear don?t know no love when we?re all the same
That was the real you looking back across the water
Tears falling like rain drops rippling against the shame
That was the real you singing hallelujah, looking down a barrel
Hey brother, we?re all learning to love again
Hey brother, we?re all learning to love again
Hey brother, we?re all learning to love again
