Jeff Carson - Real Life guitar chord

A F#m D E

I was young, he was old, we both were the same age

A F#m D E

Everyday playing fetch, shakin’ hands he’d lick my face

Bm E A E F#m

And I was unaware the day would come

Bm E A E

And when he died was the first time I knew what real pain was…

(chorus)

A E F#m D

And I never was the same again

A E F#m D

From that moment on real life began

A F#m D E

Senior high, girlfriends, football games, graduation

A F#m D E

Summer break spent my time filling out applications

Bm E A E F#m

A few superficial years went by they were all a blur

Bm E A E

And in the most unlikely situation there you were, yeah…

(chorus)

A E F#m D

And I never was the same again

A E F#m D

From that moment on real life began…

A E F#m D / A E F#m D

With you…

A F#m D E

By your side scared to death felt the pain you were fightin’

A F#m D E

Placed my palm on your head spoke your name just keep tryin’

Bm E A E F#m

And then you closed your eyes and took one last breath

Bm E A E

And when it was over you looked up laid our baby across your breast…
