In the real world (Listen to midi)

 

  Am - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -     F

1.       In dreams we do so many things we set aside the rules we know.

Am   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  F

    And fly above the world so high, in great and shining rings.

       Dm                   G                     C

    If only we could always live in dreams,

       Dm                    G                             F             G

    if only we could make of life what in dreams it seems.

 

                      C                                                  a

    But in the real world we must say real goodbyes,

                             Dm   F   Em   F

    no matter if the love will live,      will never die.

 

            C                                              Am

In the real world, there are things that we can't change,

                                   F        D                           C   E

and endings come to us in ways that we can't rearrange.

           Am                        F          Dm                           G           ~

I love you, and you love me, but sometimes we must let it be.

          Dm                      Am                 ~

In the real world, in the real world.

 

     Am          Dm    G   Am                           

2. Huu, huu, huu, huu.       When we were dreaming heart to heart,

                                                       F

   I wish that we had stayed right there.

Am                                                                                         F

    For when the dreamers do awake, the dreams do disappear.

       Dm                   G                     C

    If only we could always live in dreams,

       Dm                    G                             F            G      - G7

    if only we could make of life what in dreams it seems.

                                                          F       C

But  + CHORUS  (last line = in the real world.)

    Am            F     G     C

+ Huu, huu, huu, huu. Hu.
