Bon Jovi - Real Life

From "EdTV Soundtrack" (1999)

Capo: 2nd Fret

INTRO:  [G]   [D]   [Em]   [C]

I wish that [G]life was like it is in the [D]movies
'Cause the [Em]hero always gets his [C]way
No matter [G]how hard it gets on that [D]dark, lonely road,
At the [Em]end he's got a smile on his [C]face

But when they [G]threw me out to the [D]lions
No one [F]saved me as I fell from your [C]grace
And no one [G]wrote me new lines for [D]what I said wrong
And what I [F]did wrong I could not e[C]rase

CHORUS:
This is [G]real life, this is [D]real love
this is [Em]real pain, that much [C]I'm sure of
These are [G]real tears, these are [D]real fears in[C]side that I can't [D]hide

[C]   I wish that [G]I could be a white knight in [D]armor
With an [Em]army just to bring you back [C]home
But I'll a[G]dmit I'm scared of dialing your [D]number,
And someone [Em]else is gonna answer the [C]phone

[G]Why can't it be like it [D]is on TV
when the [F]orchestra plays and you [C]come back to me

CHORUS

This is [G]real life, this is [D]real love,
These are [Em]real wounds that I'm [C]bleeding from,
And I [Am]realize this is [D]real

BRIDGE:
[F] I always thought that [Am]our love was a [C]story book [G]tale
[F]God knows that [C]I'd never [Am]dream [C] in the [D]end it would [D7]fail

CHORUS

This is [G]real life, this is [D]real love,
These are [Em]real wounds that I'm [C]bleeding from,
And I [Am]realize this is [D]real

CHORUS
