Artist: Alan Jackson
Song: Here In The Real World
CAPO 1
[Intro]
G   A
D G D
[Verse 1]
 D           G    A
()                
Cowboys don't cry
                D
And heroes don't die
           G      A
Good always wins
           D
Again and again
              G           A
And love is a sweet dream
                 D
That always comes true
                  G              A
Oh, if life were like the movies
             D    G  D
I'd never be blue
[Chorus]
                G
But here in the real world
                      D
It's not that easy at all
                       A   A7
'Cause when hearts get broken
                 D
It's real tears that fall
                  G
And darlin', it's sad but true
                       D
But the one thing I've learned from you
                     Em     F#m     G
Is how the boy don't always get the girl
A           G           D
Here in the real world
[Interlude]
G   A
D G D
[Verse 2]
 D           G    A
()                
I gave you my love
             D
That wasn't enough
             G      A
To hold your heart
              D
When times got rough
                    G             A
And tonight on that silver screen
                  D
It'll end like it should
                G               A
Two lovers will make it through
                D     G  D
Like I hoped we would
[Chorus]
                G
But here in the real world
                      D
It's not that easy at all
                       A   A7
'Cause when hearts get broken
                 D
It's real tears that fall
                  G
And darlin', it's sad but true
                       D
But the one thing I've learned from you
                     Em     F#m     G
Is how the boy don't always get the girl
A           G           D
Here in the real world

                  Em     F#m     G
No, the boy don't always get the girl
