     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      
I think it's true that nothing is
            Dmaj7
 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   
doesn't it seem to come down the 
         Dmaj7        Asus4 Gmaj7
same for everyone?

     D       A11   D             
Only love is real, everything 
    A11
else illusion
D                F#m7/C#  F#m7   
adding to the confusion   of the 
 Bm        E7      A      Dmaj7
 way we connive at being alive
Continues after the ad
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   
only love is real, only love is 
A11
real.

Em7                   Bm
Childhood dreams like muddy waters
Em7                      Bm7
flowing through me to my son and 
daughters
Em7               A6/9    
everything I ever thought is 
                Dmaj7
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        
maybe I could have spared you 
         Dmaj7        Asus4 Gmaj7
giving your youth to me.

adding to the confusion   of the 
 Bm        E7       A          Dmaj7
 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   
only love is real, only love is 
A11
real,
     Dmaj9   A11        Dmaj7   
only love is real, only love is 
A11
real.
