Tom : E
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.

Progression and practice

Detected progression: E → B/E → F#m/E → E → F#m/E → E → Amaj7 → F#m7

The harmony or tempo is more demanding. Work on the hard changes before playing the whole song.

  • Start at 60 BPM. Speed up once you can keep time without stopping.
  • Practice the two hardest chord changes first, then go back to the whole song.
  • Use the transpose button if the key feels uncomfortable for your voice or the chord shapes you know.
