Real life

     G-D-e-C (2x)                 G                          D 
1.                   I wish that life was like it is in the movies,
                e                    C
    'cause the hero always gets his way.
               G                        D
    No matter how hard it gets on that dark, lonely road,
            e                           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,
         e                    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,
             e                           C
    with an army just to bring you back home.
              G                                D
    But I'll admit I'm scared of dialing your number,
                 e                         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.

F                          a               C         G
