  BbLast night I packed up all my Dmclothing
  Picked up the Fwhole thing yesterCday
  BbI tried to make it on my Dmown here
  It gets a little Flonely way down Chere
[Pre-Chorus]
But my father told me, "BbSon, stand up Dmtall, the world is too Fcrowded to live without Clove"
And that's when she Bbwalked right through my front Dmdoor
Like some kind of Fmagic and she's got me Casking:
[Chorus]
Is this really real life?Bb  Dm  F  C  
Is this really real life?Bb  Dm  F  C  
Is this really real life?Bb  Dm  F  C  
[Verse 2]
  BbLast night I wrote my own conDmfession
  Counted up my Fblessings from toCday
  BbYou got anything to slow my beat at Dmnight?
  Its just a little Fhard to believe you're Chere
[Pre-Chorus]
And my father told me, "BbSon, stand up Dmtall, the world is too Fcrowded to live without Clove"
And that's when she Bbwalked right through my front Dmdoor
Like some kind of Fmagic and she's got me Casking:
[Chorus]
Is this really real life?Bb  Dm  F  C  
Is this really real life?Bb  Dm  F  C  
Is this really real life?Bb  Dm  F  C  
[Bridge]
Is it coming from Bbnowhere?
I'm worn out at Dmnight things
She told me she Fdon't care
She told me she Cloved me
You can't buy the Bbsunset
A kiss on the Dmdoor step
Making a Fyoung man keep asking all Cnight
[Chorus]
Is this really real life?Bb  Dm  F  C  
Is this really real life?Bb  Dm  F  C  
Is this really real life?Bb  Dm  F  C
