[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][C][Csus2][G][D][G]
[Csus2]

[Verse 1]
[G]I still see the kid in me
[D]Building castles by the sea
[Csus2]And skipping rocks across
those ocean [G]waves
Still building buoy rafts
[D]And sailing on [Csus2]the Kachemak
And running wild across
Alaskan [G]plains

[Verse 2]
And all my [G]yesterdays
[Csus2]don't seem so long [G]ago [D]now
An[Bm]d all those [G]early [Csus2]years will always
[G]seem like [D]home somehow

[Verse 3]
And it was [G]real life
And it was [D]real good
It was [Csus2]a place I took for granted 'cause I
[D]just never understood
And there was [G]real pain
There were [D]real tears
But the way [Csus2]my Mama loved me
somehow car[D]ried all those years
It was [G]real [D]life[G][C]
Oh [Csus2]it was re[G]al li[D]fe[G][C][Csus2]

[Verse 4]
[G]I still see the kid in jeans
[D]But now he's standing next to me
[Csus2]Never thought that I'd
have boys [G]to raise
I don't have it figured out
[D]It still feels like playing house
And [Csus2]it's something I
am learning [G]everyday

[Verse 5]
An[Bm]d all of my today [Csus2]is seem like
they're [G]rushing by so [D]fast
An[Bm]d every time [Csus2]I look
around I [D]pray that it will last

[Verse 6]
And [G]it's real life
And it's [D]real good
And sometimes [Csus2]I take it all for granted
even [D]though I never should
And there is [G]real pain
And there are [D]real tears
But the way [C]my baby loves me [Csus2]somehow
car[D]ries all these years
And this is [G]real life

[Interlude 1]

[Em][C][G]
[D][C][Csus2][C][Csus2]

[Verse 7]
[G]When I'm old and turning grey
[D]And my boys have moved away
[Csus2]When it's time for me
to say good[G]bye
I hope I leave a legacy
[D]I hope that God is proud of me
[C]I hope that I leave something
good be[G]hind

[Verse 8]
An[Bm]d all my yes[G]terdays [Csus2]are flashing
[G]right before my [D]eyes
And [Bm]I'm standing [G]in God's pres
[C]ence when I fi[G]nally [D]realize

[Verse 9]
This is [G]real life
and this is [D]real good
[C]It's a place I took for granted
'cause I [D]just never understood
And there'll [G]be no pain
And there'll [D]be no tears
'Cause the way [C]my Father loves
me is the [D]reason I am here
This is [G]real life
[D]Oh [G]thi[C]s is real l[G]ife[D][G][C]
This is [G]real [D]life[G][C]
