Real Things
Joe Nichols
[Intro]
C
CI love real things built to last
Hardwood floors and stone fireplFaces
And looking back on the pCast
CIce cold beer, fish that fight
Wise, old bucks
And old timer's   Ftellin' lies
FireflCies
RaGiny days, I love them, I always have
Screened in poFrches, my old, straw hat
SGmell of dogwoods, early signs of spCring
Real things
CI love real things like a hard days work
Sinkin' my hands in fresh plowed dirtF  
And lovin' someone so mCuch it hurts
CNew strings on an old guitar
Moonshine in a mason jar
And jFust feelin' alive, at peace with who you aCre
RGeal things, I love 'em, I always have
Like grandma's kitchen
And grandpa's lCaugh
StGealin' that first kiss on the front pForch swing
Real thCingsG  
It's a rAmeal things, that I Fcome back to evCery year
Like ChAmristmas time    Fwith those that GI hold dCear
When it's the rAmeal things
The trFuth rings Cso loud and clFearC  
For those with ears    Gto hear
I want rCeal things like I love you
Or an amen, from the very last pewF  
And I miss you dadC  
CSon, I miss you too
Real thGings, I love them, I always have
Like the kinfolk shFoes on a welcome mat
Sunday morning,    Ghearing my mama sFing
Real thCings, I lFove those rCeal thingsF  C  
CReal things

Real Things

Joe Nichols

[Intro]

I love real things built to last

Hardwood floors and stone fireplaces

And looking back on the past

Ice cold beer, fish that fight

Wise, old bucks

And old timer's tellin' lies

Fireflies

Rainy days, I love them, I always have

Screened in porches, my old, straw hat

G C

Smell of dogwoods, early signs of spring

Real things

I love real things like a hard days work

Sinkin' my hands in fresh plowed dirt

And lovin' someone so much it hurts

New strings on an old guitar

Moonshine in a mason jar

F C

And just feelin' alive, at peace with who you are

Real things, I love 'em, I always have

Like grandma's kitchen

And grandpa's laugh

G F

Stealin' that first kiss on the front porch swing

C G

Real things

Am F C

It's a real things, that I come back to every year

Am F G C

Like Christmas time with those that I hold dear

When it's the real things

F C F C

The truth rings so loud and clear

For those with ears to hear

I want real things like I love you

Or an amen, from the very last pew

And I miss you dad

Son, I miss you too

Real things, I love them, I always have

Like the kinfolk shoes on a welcome mat

G F

Sunday morning, hearing my mama sing

C F C F C

Real things, I love those real things
