Real Life 
by Lincoln Brewster and Mia Fieldes

If you're not familiar with the song, you may have to arrange the chords exactly 
where they're played since there are a couple spots where the words get kinda 
tricky.  Otherwise, enjoy!

Intro: G   D/F#  C

G (320003@1)
I still see the kid in me
D/F#  
Building castles by the sea
C (x32010@1)									GAnd (320003@1)skipping rocks across those ocean waves
G (320003@1)
Still building buoy rafts
D/F#  
And sailing on the Kachemak
C (x32010@1)								GAnd (320003@1)running wild across Alaskan plains

Bm (x24432@1)			  C (x32010@1)			  G/D (4x3121@7)  DAnd (xx0232@1)all my yesterdays don't seem so long ago now
Bm (x24432@1)			  C (x32010@1)			  
And all those early years 
G/D (4x3121@7)  				   D (xx0232@1)will always seem like home somehow

G (320003@1)    		   D/F#And (200232@1)it was real life, and it was real good
		 C (x32010@1)		
It was a place I took for granted 
			G/D (4x3121@7)	    D'cause (xx0232@1)I just never understood
				G (320003@1)      			D/F#And (200232@1)there was real pain, there were real tears
		 C (x32010@1)		
But the way my Mama loved me 
			G/D (4x3121@7)	    Dsomehow (xx0232@1)carried all those years
		G (320003@1)name="chord_200232@1">D/F#  C (x32010@1)	     G (320003@1) D/F# (200232@1) CIt (x32010@1)was real life, 		 Oh it was real life

G (320003@1)
I still see the kid in jeans
D/F#  
But now he's standing next to me
C (x32010@1)									GNever (320003@1)thought that I'd have boys to raise
G (320003@1)
I don't have it figured out
D/F#  
It still feels like playing house
C (x32010@1)									GAnd (320003@1)it's something I am learning everyday

Bm (x24432@1)		 C (x32010@1)			  		    G/D (4x3121@7)  		DAnd (xx0232@1)all of my todays seem like they're rushing by so fast
 Bm (x24432@1)		  C (x32010@1)			    G/D (4x3121@7)  		     D (xx0232@1)And every time I look around I pray that it will last

G (320003@1)    		D/F#And (200232@1)it's real life, and it's real good
		 		   C (x32010@1)		
And sometimes I take it all for granted 
	     G/D (4x3121@7)	     Deven (xx0232@1)though I never should
			  G (320003@1)      				D/F#And (200232@1)there is real pain, and there are real tears
		 C (x32010@1)		
But the way my baby loves me 
			G/D (4x3121@7)	    Dsomehow (xx0232@1)carries all these years
			G (320003@1)name="chord_200232@1">D/F#   
And this is real life

Interlude: Em (022000@1)C (x32010@1)G (320003@1)D(2x) (xx0232@1) 	C (x32010@1)G (320003@1)
When I'm old and turning grey
D/F#  
And my boys have moved away
C (x32010@1)								GWhen (320003@1)it's time for me to say goodbye
G (320003@1)
I hope I leave a legacy
D/F#  
I hope that God is proud of me
C (x32010@1)									GI (320003@1)hope that I leave something good behind

Bm (x24432@1)		 C (x32010@1)			  	   G/D (4x3121@7)  				DAnd (xx0232@1)all my yesterdays are flashing right before my eyes
  Bm (x24432@1)		  		C (x32010@1)			    G/D (4x3121@7)  	 D (xx0232@1)And I'm standing in God's presence when I finally realize

G (320003@1)    	  D/F#This (200232@1)is real life, this is real good
	    C (x32010@1)							 G/D (4x3121@7)name="chord_xx0232@1">D
It's a place I took for granted 'cause I just never understood
				G (320003@1)      			  D/F#And (200232@1)there'll be no pain, and there'll be no tears
		 	C (x32010@1)			  		   G/D (4x3121@7)	 D'Cause (xx0232@1)the way my Father loves me is the reason I am here
