Bon Jovi ? Real Life

but it does work. The first chord is a D, so tune your guitar?s string down to the on that first

Verse: |: | | | :|
I wish life was like it is in the movies
Cos? the hero always gets his way
No matter how hard it gets on that dark lonely road
At the end, he?s got a smile on his face
But when they threw me out to the lions

Chorus ?the same as the intro, with vocals.
This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain, that much I?m sure of
This are real tears, this is real fear inside
That I can?t hide
| | | - On the link between the chorus and the verse here, it sounds like Richie is using a
whammy bar or pedal over the chord, but it sounds like he?s playing a ?? chord.
Verse
I wish I could be your white night in armour
With an honour just to bring you back home
But I?ll admit I?m scared of dialing your number

Why can?t it be like it is on TV?
When New York gets too plain and you come back to me
Chorus ?the same as the intro, with vocals.
This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain, that much I?m sure of
This are real tears, this is real fear inside
That I can?t hide
This is real life, this is real love
These are real wounds I?m bleedin? from
And I realise this is real
Bridge
I always thought that our love
Was a story for two
God knows that I?d never dream
In the end? it would stand.
Chorus ?the same as the intro, with vocals.
This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain, that much I?m sure of
This are real tears, this is real fear inside
That I can?t hide
This is real life, this is real love
These are real wounds I?m bleedin? from
And I realise this is real
