Real Life    (intro)    (sample)

 

     G-D-Em-C (2x)                   G                                   D

1.                            I wish that life was like it is in the movies,

                      Em                             C

    ‘cause the hero always gets his way.

                       G                                   D

    No matter how hard it gets on that dark, lonely road,

              Em                                       C

    at the end he's got a smile on his face.

 

                               G                           D

    But when they threw me out to the lions,

                  F                                           C

    no one saved me as I fell from your grace.

                           G                                  D

    And no one wrote me new lines for what I said wrong,

                       F                                 C

    and what I did wrong I could not erase.

 

             G                     D

This is real life, this is real love,

           Em                           C

this is real pain, that much I'm sure of.

                   G                              D                C                       D

These are real tears, these are real fears inside that I can't hide.

2.                     I wish that I could be a white knight in armor,

                 Em                                        C

    with an army just to bring you back home.

                G                                                D

    But I'll admit I'm scared of dialing your number,

                           Em                                       C

    and someone else is gonna answer the phone.

 

       G                            D

    Why can't it be like it is on TV,

                     F                                     C

    when the orchestra plays and you come back to me.

 

+ CHORUS

 

 

 

                 G                     D

    This is real life, this is real love,

                     Em                              C

    these are real wounds that I'm bleeding from,

              Am                 D

    and I realize this is real.

 

F                                    Am                     C             G

    I always thought that our love was a story book tale.

       F                     C             Am    - C            D                D7

    God knows that I'd never dream      in the end it would fail. 'Cause
