Lyrics

Real Life
© 2010 Jon Peterson. All Rights Reserved.
[intro: F, E, Eb, over a G - G w/E]
This is where I want to be. Not sittin' in front of a T.V. G - C - D
Listening to a singer sing, bringing real life to everything. "
I've got a cup of coffee to drink, a clear mind so I can think.
Please be quiet so I can hear, the words are my magic mirror.
And mirror, mirror on the wall C - G
Isn't this just real life after all? "
I know that something's magical, know that something's mystical, C - D
You're listening to real life . . . after all.

And I wonder what she's feeling up there,
Is she full of confidence, I'll bet she's scared,
Cause I feel I'm up there too,
Feeling all she's feeling, I can help her through.
Together through the gammet of emotion,
Feeling love, life, and devotion,
It's difficult to see life under your nose,
But, I think I'm getting real close.
Maybe, a little too close.
So I stop to take a closer look at myself,
Mirror on the wall - this is a do-it-yourself,
I know that something's magical, know that something's mystical,
Listening to real life . . . after all.
[solo over intro: F, E, Eb, over a G - G w/E]

Hardly know myself- it's hard to do,
She's singing stuff about me that I never knew.
For, how does she know about my fears?
How does she know I still care?
And when it comes to the quiet part, harmonics
She reaches way down inside of my heart - it beats. C - D
Sweet . . . and the guitar - it sings . . . Em -D - C
She says - La, la, la . . . la, la - yeah, yeah. Am - G/B - C - D

That's real life flashing throughout this song, C - G
I celebrate the moment and sing along. "
Cause everything is magical, everything is mystical, C - D
Everything is magical, everything is mystical, "
Listening to real life . . . in a song. "
