Here in the real world

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.
