Do You Really Love Me - Live at SxSW (1990)

thanks to Jimmy Nothin'

You'll never know dear
The tears that I cried.
I don't wanna wait, girl,
Till the day that I die,
Tell me now.
Do you really love me?

I don't understand
The things that you do.
You promised you'd make me
The king of the zoo.

Tell me now.
Do you really love me?

In this world it's hard to find a friend.
How come?
But if this really is love then lets get it on.

I wanna know dear
The way that you feel.
I'm on a roll girl
My heart's like a wheel.

Tell me now.
Do you really love me?

If I can trust
The look in your eye
But if your kiss
Could be a lie

Tell me now.
Do you really love me?

In this world it's hard to find a friend.
How come?
But if this really is love then lets get it on.

[alternate ending]

Tell me now.
Do you really love me?

When they said that love was dead,
They were just playin' with yr head.
Love is real.
It's the way that i feel.
I love you.
Do you really love me?
Do you really love me?
Do you really love me?

Do you really love me?
by Daniel Johnston

The song, as performed at SXSW, is in F# and ideal for using barre chords.

I wrote it down in G (below) for those more comfortable with open chords.

The numbers are:

1 6- 2- 5 (Verse & Chorus)

4 1 4 5 (Bridge "In this world...")

Enjoy!
