G D/F# G C G D/F# G G C



Verse 1

G                        D/F#

 I still see the kid in me building castles by the sea

C2                                         G

 And skipping rocks across those ocean waves

G                       D/F#

 Still building buoy rafts and sailing on the Kachemak

C2                                     G

 And running wild across Alaskan plains

           Bm7                 C2          G   D

And all my yesterdays don't seem so long ago now

    Bm7                C2                G D               D

And all those early years will always seem like home somehow



Chorus 1

              G                   D/F#

And it was real life and it was real good

            C2                                    Dsus         D

It was a place I took for granted 'cause I just never understood

                G                        D/F#

And there was real pain and there were real tears

          C2                           Dsus               D

But the way my Mama loved me somehow carried all those years

          G     D/F# G C             G   D/F# G C2

It was real life        oh it was real life



Verse 2

G                         D/F#

 I still see the kid in jeans but now he's standing next to me

C2                                       G

 Never thought that I'd have boys to raise

G                          D/F#

 I don't have it figured out  it still feels like playing house

   C2                                   G

And it's something I am learning everyday

    Bm7           C2                      G            D/F#

And all of my todays seem like they're rushing by so fast

    Bm7             C2         Dsus                 D

And every  I look around I pray that it will last



Chorus 2

            G                  D/F#

And it's real life and it's real good

                  C2  

And somes I take it all for granted

         Dsus         D

Even though I never should

                G                      D/F#

And there is real pain and there are real tears

          C2                           Dsus                D

But the way my baby loves me somehow carries all these years

            G      D/F# G

And this is real life

Verse 3

G                            D/F#

 When I'm old and turning grey and my boys have moved away

C2                                   G

 When it's  for me to say goodbye

G                        D/F#

 I hope I leave a legacy I hope that God is proud of me

C2                                       G

 I hope that I leave something good behind

    Bm7             C2               G                D

And all my yesterdays are flashing right before my eyes

    Bm7                       C2             G D        D 

And I'm standing in God's presence when I finally realize



Chorus 3

        G                   D/F#

This is real life this is real good

            C2                                     Dsus        D

It's the place I took for granted 'cause I just never understood

                 G                       D/F#

And there'll be no pain and there'll be no tears

           C2                               Dsus       D

'Cause the way my Father loves me is the reason I am here

           G     D/F# G C               G    D/F# G C/E

This is real life        oh, this is real life

           G    D/F# G C

This is real life
