Real Life (intro)

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.

- C ~ ~ G D

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...

+ 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. + CHORUS .....
