Intro: Am Em Dm   (x2)

Am
In real life I'm
Em
waking up alone
     Dm
It's one more night you
didn't make it home
  Am
And one more time you
Em            Dm
won't pick up the phone
Am             Em
In real life you never
bring me flowers
Dm
When you're here it's
only for an hour
Am
I'm getting used to
Em       Dm
being on my own
     Am
Because in real life
    Em
you're not what I thought
Dm
Real life this
         Am
isn't what I want

Guess things aren't
Em          Dm
always what they seem
       C
But in my dreams
   F
I'm waking up to roses
Am    G
Champagne kisses and I
      C      F
know it's always always
    Am         G
Gonna be  gonna be this way
    C
In my dreams you're
 F
standing right beside me
Am      G
Two hearts finally colliding
C       F
Then I wake up and realize
Am        Dm
  realize this is real life
Am     Em
  Real life
     Dm
This is real life
   Am    Em
real life
  Dm
whoa whoa whoa
Am              Em
In real life it doesn't
always work out
Dm
People fall in love
and then they fall out
Am
Hearts can break and
Em       Dm
never make a sound

Refrain:
     Am
Because in real life
    Em
you're not what I thought
Dm
Real life this
         Am
isn't what I want

Guess things aren't
Em          Dm
always what they seem
       C
But in my dreams
   F
I'm waking up to roses
Am    G
Champagne kisses and I
      C      F
know it's always always
    Am         G
Gonna be  gonna be this way
    C
In my dreams you're
 F
standing right beside me
Am      G
Two hearts finally colliding
C       F
Then I wake up and realize
Am        Dm
  realize this is real life
Am         G
  Just when I thought this was
F               E/G#
all real life could be
Am     G
  Somebody came along and
F        E/G# (hold)
made my dream reality
      C
And now in real life
   F
I'm waking up to roses
Am    G
Champagne kisses and I
      C      F
know it's always always
    Am         G
Gonna be  gonna be this way
    C
In my dreams he's
 F
standing right beside me
Am      G
Two hearts finally colliding
C      F
When I wake up and realize I
Am        Dm          Am
  realize this is real life
