Tom: F
Dm Bb F
This isn't my life, this isn't my house
Dm Bb F
this wasn't my dream, this isn't my crime
Dm Bb F
why do I try? what do I fear?
Dm Bb F C
what if this life, we just live, and it disappears
[Chorus]
F
is this the real world?
Bb Dm
is this the real life?
C# Dm
is this really happening now?
Bb F C
is this really happening to me?
F
if it's the real world
Bb Dm
and if it's the real life?
C# Dm
I'm gonna need a firing squad
Bb Gm
to set me free
[Verse]
Dm Bb F
this isn't my love, this isn't my fate
Dm Bb F
this isn't the girl that makes you feel
like you're living in the seventh grade
Dm Bb F
why do I feel my arms
Dm Bb F C
why do I never feel like I belong?
[Chorus]
F
is this the real world?
Bb Dm
is this the real life?
C# Dm
is this really happening now?
Bb F C
is this really happening to me?
F
if it's the real world
Bb Dm
and if it's the real life?
C# Dm
I'm gonna need a firing squad
Bb Gm
to set me free
[Bridge]
Bb Gm Dm
I'm sorry I
C Bb
I'm sorry I tried to fight it all
Gm Dm C Bb Gm
You're taken, you're taken and heeeeee
Dm C
(this is the real world, it is the real world)
Bb
I left the wounds to find the truth
Gm
I thought I'd be everything I wanted to be
Dm
I've been screaming to God, my voice is so sore
C
I looked in the mirror, I'm not a kid anymore
Bb
La la la la la la la
Gm
La la la la la la la
Dm
I'm singing nursery rhymes, instead of stadiums now
C
and when I look at the light, I can hear the crowd
Bb Gm
real world .... mmmmmm
Dm C Bb Gm
(is this the real world, it is the real world)
Dm C
(is this the real world, it is the real world)
Bb
I feel the pain of everyone
Gm
I feel the pain of everyone
Dm
I feel the same as everyone
C Dm
and everyone I feel your pain
Bb Gm Dm C
I feel your pain
[Outro]
F
Is this the real world
Bb Dm
is this the real life?
C F
is this really happening now?
Bb F
is this really happening to me?
