[Verse 1]
Girl I'm only being Amhonest
There's no harm inside of Gmy heart
Just a feeling that if Fthis gives
I believe I might've Dmmissed it
Sick of fighting and then Amlosing
Think I'm floating then I Gfall in
Maybe you could Ftake a pill
Then maybe we could Dmsit still
[Pre-chorus]
I keep my Ameyes tight shut make me blush
I wanna Gfeel our skin touch
Because I've Fnever really liked good things that much
I wanna Dmwake up feeling flawless
[Chorus]
This is the Freal life
And everybody's walking to their Dmown stride
Talking but you wanna hear a Flifeline
Nothing's gonna ever feel Dmright, right, right
This is the real life
  AmThe real
  AmThe real
  GThe real
  GThe real
  FThe real
  FThe real
  DmThe real
[Verse 2]
Wish I could be there when you Ammissed me
Then I can feel the way you Gkissed me
When every second was a Fheartbeat
I could be there when you're Dmlonley
Lost me but you loved me
AmA bad dream
How do you wake up from a Gbad dream
When nothing happened to the Froutine
Just early mornings and the Dmsame screen
God knows how you let (me)
[Chorus]
This is the Freal life
And everybody's walking to their Dmown stride
Talking but you wanna hear a Flifeline
Nothing's gonna ever feel Dmright, Fright, Fright
GThis is the Greal life
  AmThe real

[Verse 1]

Girl I'm only being honest

There's no harm inside of my heart

Just a feeling that if this gives

I believe I might've missed it

Sick of fighting and then losing

Think I'm floating then I fall in

Maybe you could take a pill

Then maybe we could sit still

[Pre-chorus]

I keep my eyes tight shut make me blush

I wanna feel our skin touch

Because I've never really liked good things that much

I wanna wake up feeling flawless

[Chorus]

This is the real life

And everybody's walking to their own stride

Talking but you wanna hear a lifeline

Nothing's gonna ever feel right, right, right

This is the real life

The real

[Verse 2]

Wish I could be there when you missed me

Then I can feel the way you kissed me

When every second was a heartbeat

I could be there when you're lonley

Lost me but you loved me

A bad dream

How do you wake up from a bad dream

When nothing happened to the routine

Just early mornings and the same screen

God knows how you let (me)

[Chorus]

This is the real life

And everybody's walking to their own stride

Talking but you wanna hear a lifeline

Dm F F

Nothing's gonna ever feel right, right, right

G G

This is the real life

The real

This is the real life

[Outro]

Am G F Dm
