E  A  E  A

[Verse 1]
E                 A
Ready for the real life
E                       A
Hold back your pillas of pride
         E                A
You gonna find out when it ends
          D                            A
If all the things that you thought were right

[Verse 2]
E                       A
Talking won't bring your dreams
E                     A
Nothing is all that it seems
          E                     A
You got to tear down your bitter side
       D       Bm        A
And get on with your only life

[Chorus]
          E      B      A
So are you ready, ready, take a look around you
A
See what I see, hear what I hear
E     B         A
Ready, ready, whatever your intentions
   B                      E     A                     E
Get ready now for the real life, ready for the real life

[Verse 3]
E                     A
Shattered and kicked around
E                        A
Straight back to your one horse town
       E           A
Only to do it all again
         D              Bm        A
But baby, this time it's got to be right

[Chorus]
          E      B      A
So are you ready, ready, take a look around you
A
See what I see, hear what I hear
E     B         A
Ready, ready, whatever your intentions
   B                      E
Get ready now for the real life, hey

[Instrumental]
G#m7  F#m7  G#m7  A
G#m7  F#m7  G#m7  B

[Chorus]
          E      B      A
So are you ready, ready, take a look around you
A
See what I see, hear what I hear
E     B         A
Ready, ready, whatever your intentions
   B                      E
Get ready now for the real life

[Outro]
E            B       A    E  B  A
Ready for the real life
E            B            A
Ready, baby, ready for the real life
                 E      B      A
Baby, baby, baby, ready, ready, ready for the real life, hey
                                           E
I get ready now, get ready now for the real life...
