[Verse 1]
     C              E/B
Well I grew up in a real town
          Am               G
Where the prom queen had a plastic 
crown
       C               E/B
And we really did just drive around
             Am             G
‘Cause there wasn’t shit to do
   C                   E/B
We didn’t know we were real broke
Am                G
Daddy rolled them real smokes
         C      E/B
We drank RC, no real Coke
        Am             G
But our neighbor had a pool

C              E/B           Am
  We got green grass and two trees
      G
(Whoa oh oh oh oh)
C              E/B             Am
  But it ain’t like what’s on TV
      G
(Whoa oh oh oh oh)


[Chorus]
        C    E           Am   F
This is real life in the real world
         C             E
We ain’t talking to no models
       Am   F
We got real girls
       C    E           Am   F
We get real low, we get real high

[Verse 2]
         C               E/B
We got a dive bar with a real band
          Am                   G
They play too loud and they’re real 
bad
          C                E/B
But we’re real bored so we still 
dance
       Am               G
And we stay out way too late
        C                     E/B
Hit the Waffle House for some real 
food
         Am              G
But that waitress, she’s real rude
        C                 E/B
She got real problems but we do too
      Am         G
So we tip her anyway

C               E/B         Am
That’s just the way that it is
      G
(Whoa oh oh oh oh)
C               E/B         Am
That’s just the way that we live
      G
(Whoa oh oh oh oh)


[Chorus]
        C    E           Am   F
This is real life in the real world
         C             E
We ain’t talking to no models
       Am   F
We got real girls
       C    E           Am   F
We get real low, we get real high
         C        E             
It ain’t all good baby but it’s 
Am  F
all right

|C   E/B |Am  G   |x2

Yeah we’re livin’ real life


[Verse 3]
        C              E/B
We find real love, get real hurt
     Am               G
Fall real hard, shake off the dirt
C                  E/B
Pray to God, let’s make a deal
Am         G
I guess it just got real
