Here in the real world      (Listen to midi)    (Listen to sample)

 

    G - A - D - G - D

 

                             G    - A                              D

1. Cowboys don't cry,        and heroes don't die,

                                 G    - A                     D

    and good always wins      again and again.

            D7              G               - A                                  D

    And love is a sweet dream        that always comes true,

                                          G        - A                       D    - G - D

    oh, if life were like the movies,      I'd never be blue.

 

       D7              G                                             D

But here in the real world, it's not that easy at all,

                                         A       - A7                               D   - D7

'cause when hearts get broken,         it's real tears that fall.

                          G                                                    D

And darlin', it's sad but true, but the one thing I've learned from you,

                                 Em      Bm        G     A               G                - D       

is how the boy don't always get the girl, here in the real world.

 

    G - A - D - G - D

 

                             G    - A                             D

2. I gave you my love,      but that wasn't enough,

                           G    - A                             D

    to hold your heart        when times got rough.

               D7                 G                  - A                          D

    And tonight on that silver screen,      it'll end like it should,

                              G                     - A                              D      - G - D

    two lovers will make it through        like I hoped we would.

 

+ CHORUS

 

                                  Em      Bm        G     A               G           - D - A - D

+ Now, the boy don't always get the girl, here in the real world.
