            A                          Abm  
I wish that life was like it is in the movies 
       F#m                  D  
'Cause the hero always gets his way 
          A                         Abm  
No matter how hard it gets on that dark lonely road 
   F#m                             D  
At the end he's got a smile on his face 
         A                        E  
But when they threw me out to the lions 
       G                            D  
No one saved me as I fell from your grace 
           A                   E  
And no one wrote me new lines for what I said wrong 
     G                      D  
What I did wrong I could not erase 
 
Chorus: 
        A  
This is real life 
        E  
This is real love 
         F#m                D  
This is real pain that much I'm sure of 
          A  
These are real tears 
          E          D                   E  - D  
These are real fears inside that I can't hide 
  
            A                             Abm  
I wish that I could be your white knight in armor 
             F#m                    D  
With an army just to bring you back home 
         A                                E  
But I'll admit I'm scared of dialing your number 
        G                        D  
Someone else is gonna answer the phone 
  A                    E  
Why can't it be like it is on TV? 
        G                        D  
When the orchestra plays and you come back to me 
 
Chorus: 
        A  
This is real life 
        E  
This is real love 
        F#m                D  
This is real pain that much I'm sure of 
          A  
These are real tears 
          E           D                  E  
These are real fears inside that I can't hide 
        A  
This is real life 
        E  
This is real love 
          F#m             D  
These are real wounds I'm bleeding from 
     B             E  
And I realize this real 
 
 G                      Bm           D         A  
I always thought that our love was a storybook tale 
 E        F#m          G     D  
God knows that I never dreamed 
         E  
In the end it would fail 
  
Chorus: 
               A  
'Cause this is real life 
        E  
This is real love 
        F#m                 D  
This is real pain that much I'm sure of 
          A  
These are real tears 
          E           D                   E  
These are real fears inside that I can't hide 
        A  
This is real life 
        E  
This is real love 
          F#m             D  
These are real wounds I'm bleeding from 
      B            E  - A  
And I realize this real
