Intro: A E F#m D (2X) 
                 A                           E  
1.  I wish that life was like it is in the movies, 
               F#/G                 D 
    'cause the hero always gets his way. 
               A                       E 
    No matter how hard it gets on that dark, lonely road, 
            F#/G                       D 
    at the end he's got a smile on his face. 
                  A                   E 
    But when they threw me out to the lions, 
            F#/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, 
               F#/G                   D 
    and what I did wrong I could not erase.

         A                  E 
This is real life, this is real love, 
         F#/G                    D 
this is real pain, that much I'm sure of. 
           A                     E            D                 E 
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, 
             F#/G                       D  
    with an army just to bring you back home. 
              A                                E 
    But I'll admit I'm scared of dialing your number, 
                 F#/G                     D 
    and someone else is gonna answer the phone. 
     A                       E 
    Why can't it be like it is on TV, 
              F#/G                   D 
    when the orchestra plays and you come back to me.

    This is real life, this is real love, 
               F#/G                    D 
    these are real wounds that I'm bleeding from, 
           Bm               E 
    and I realize this is real. 
   G                         Bm            D         A 
    I always thought that our love was a story book tale. 
     E              F#/G          G    -        A           E 
    God knows that I'd never dream      in the end it would stand. 'Cause
