[Capo on the 3rd fret]
Em7   A6/9(4x)
As I Em7bask in the glow of a Bmjust-lit fire
Em7feeling the warmth as the Bm7flame grows higher
Em7I think it's true that A6/9nothing is really new Dmaj7under the sun
watching a Bm7new love grow from E7old love's embers
Bm7yesterday's gone but toE7day remembers
Em7/ B   A7sus4   Dmaj7   Asus4  Gmaj7  
doesn't it seem to come down the same for everyone?
Only Dlove is A11real, Deverything else ilA11lusion
D  F#m7/ C#   F#m7   Bm   E7   A  Dmaj7  
adding to the confusion of the way we connive at being alive
Gmaj7tracing a Em7line till F#m7we can defF#7ine
the Bmthing that alBm7lows us to E7feel
only Dmaj7love is A11real, only Dmaj7love is A11real.
Em7   A6/9(4x)
Em7Childhood dreams like Bmmuddy waters
Em7flowing through me to my Bm7son and daughters
Em7everything I ever A6/9thought is confirmed as Dmaj7truth to me
even as I Bm7see the way that I E7want to go now
Bm7still I wish I had E7known twhat I know now
Em7/ B   A7sus4   Dmaj7   Asus4  Gmaj7  
maybe I could have spared you giving your youth to me.
Only Dlove is A11real, Deverything else ilA11lusion
D  F#m7/ C#   F#m7   Bm   E7   A  Dmaj7  
adding to the confusion of the way we contrive to just stay alive
Gmaj7tracing a Em7line till F#m7we can defF#7ine
the Bmthing that alBm7lows us to E7feel
only Dmaj7love is A11real, only Dmaj7love is A11real,
only Dmaj9love is A11real, only Dmaj7love is A11real.
