Real To Me Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][C]

[Verse 1]
[F]Frozen statues in the cold,
washed in moonlight [C]blue and [F]gold.
Mary's babe in plastic cape,
quiet wonder on [Am]her [G]face.[Em][F]
Mary, you look so serene, far too pretty,
much [C]too [F]clean.
We might think we know you well,
but what stories [Am]would you [G]tell?
Of all the [F]dirt and dust and [Am]shame,
every [C]burning labor [G]pain,
And as I [F]turn to walk away,
[Am]I hear you s[G]ay...

[Verse 2]
I am [F]real.[G]
Don't turn [Am]me into memory or myth.[F]
Let me be [G]real. Real.
And I'll show [Am]you what it
means to love [F]like this.

[Interlude 1]
To be real.
[F][C]

[Verse 3]
[F]Shepherds bending to the ground,
Bethlehem is safe [C]an d sound.
[F]Joseph, you look brave and true,
but do we know what it was [Am]like to be [G]you?
How many [F]sleepless nights [Am]awake
found you [C]desperate and [G]afraid?
And as I [F]turn to walk away,
[Am]I hear you say..[G].

[Verse 4]
I am [F]real.[G]
Don't turn [Am]me into memory or myth.
[F]Let me be rea[G]l.
And I'll show [Am]you what it
means to love [F]like this.

[Verse 5]
To love like [Dm]you don't even care
about [Em]the hurry and [C]the hussle,
Like [Dm]you are unaware December
[C]comes with so much trouble
Cause [Dm]you believe a baby came
[C]not in paintings or in plains
But [F]every minute, every hour, every day.

[Verse 6]
To be [C]real,[Em]
Real
[F]

[Verse 7]
[Am]You are [C]real, [Em]real
Show [F]us what it means to love like [Am]this.
To [F]be real
To be [G]real
More than a [F]memory,
More than [G]a story.
Real.
