written by Carole King

from "Thoroughbred", 1976

transcribed by Peter Eybert

[Capo on the 3rd fret]

Em7 A6/9 (4x)

Em7 Bm

As I bask in the glow of a just-lit fire

Em7 Bm7

feeling the warmth as the flame grows higher

Em7 A6/9 Dmaj7

I think it's true that nothing is really new under the sun

Bm7 E7

watching a new love grow from old love's embers

Bm7 E7

yesterday's gone but today remembers

Em7/B A7sus4 Dmaj7 Asus4 Gmaj7

doesn't it seem to come down the same for everyone?

D A11 D A11

Only love is real, everything else illusion

D F#m7/C# F#m7 Bm E7 A Dmaj7

adding to the confusion of the way we connive at being alive

Gmaj7 Em7 F#m7 F#7

tracing a line till we can define

Bm Bm7 E7

the thing that allows us to feel

Dmaj7 A11 Dmaj7 A11

only love is real, only love is real.

Em7 A6/9 (4x)

Em7 Bm

Childhood dreams like muddy waters

Em7 Bm7

flowing through me to my son and daughters

Em7 A6/9 Dmaj7

everything I ever thought is confirmed as truth to me

Bm7 E7

even as I see the way that I want to go now

Bm7 E7

still I wish I had known twhat I know now

Em7/B A7sus4 Dmaj7 Asus4 Gmaj7

maybe I could have spared you giving your youth to me.

D A11 D A11

Only love is real, everything else illusion

D F#m7/C# F#m7 Bm E7 A Dmaj7

adding to the confusion of the way we contrive to just stay alive

Gmaj7 Em7 F#m7 F#7

tracing a line till we can define

Bm Bm7 E7

the thing that allows us to feel

Dmaj7 A11 Dmaj7 A11

only love is real, only love is real,

Dmaj9 A11 Dmaj7 A11

only love is real, only love is real.
