[Verse 1]
    E             B
And so far we had someone

             E             B
That doesn't work for everyone.

                 E                 B
But I'm thinking this could be the one,

              A            C#m
If we put our minds to it.

    E              B
And I came round today,

                  E              B
And you thought I had so much to say

               E                   B
And I know you hate seeing me this way,

               A       C#m
But I'm having fun.
[Pre-Chorus]
B                        A
You realise, you realise

B                              E
It's real life, it's real life

B                        A
You realise, you realise

B                              E
It's real life, it's real life

B                        A
You realise, you realise

B                              E
It's real life, it's real life

B                        A
You realise, you realise

B                              E
It's real life, it's real life
[Chorus]
D         F#                    E B
Trying to prove you're alright;

F#m                          E B
And losing track of the time.

D               C#m    C#m7
Even when the Summer's passing by.
E B E B E B A C#m [Verse 2]
E               B
And bringing it down to focus;

E                   B
And try to bring it down but I'm hopeless;

    E                    B               A            C#m
And we should write this down, so we can remember it.

    E               B
And yes there was a time

             E        B
When we were two of a kind,

                E             B    A   C#m
But now I can't even remember why.
[Pre-Chorus]
B                        A
You realise, you realise

B                              E
It's real life, it's real life

B                        A
You realise, you realise

B                              E
It's real life, it's real life
[Chorus]
D         F#                   E B
Trying to prove you're alright;

F#m                          E B
And losing track of the time.

D       F#              E B
Sixteen hits on the side.

F#m                       E B
Don't waste anytime inside.

D               C#m    C#m7
Even when the summer's passing by
[Outro] E B E B E B A C#m B
