Dm            Bb                  F
This isn't my life, this isn't my house
Dm             Bb                  F
this wasn't my dream, this isn't my crime
Dm       Bb           F
why do I try? what do I fear?
Dm           Bb            F            C
what if this life, we just live, and it disappears

[Chorus]
            F
is this the real world?
            Bb         Dm
is this the real life?
               C#        Dm
is this really happening now?
               Bb           F    C 
is this really happening to me?
            F
if it's the real world
                Bb        Dm
and if it's the real life?
                 C#     Dm
I'm gonna need a firing squad
   Bb     Gm
to set me free

[Verse]
Dm            Bb                  F
this isn't my love, this isn't my fate
Dm             Bb                  F
this isn't the girl that makes you feel
like you're living in the seventh grade
Dm       Bb      F
why do I feel my arms
Dm       Bb    F           C
why do I never feel like I belong?

[Chorus]
            F
is this the real world?
            Bb         Dm
is this the real life?
               C#        Dm
is this really happening now?
               Bb           F    C 
is this really happening to me?
            F
if it's the real world
                Bb        Dm
and if it's the real life?
                 C#     Dm
I'm gonna need a firing squad
   Bb     Gm
to set me free

[Bridge]
Bb       Gm              Dm
             I'm sorry I
C                     Bb
 I'm sorry I tried to fight it all
Gm            Dm              C        Bb    Gm
You're taken, you're taken and heeeeee
             Dm                         C
(this is the real world, it is the real world)
  Bb
I left the wounds to find the truth
  Gm
I thought I'd be everything I wanted to be
          Dm
I've been screaming to God, my voice is so sore
C
I looked in the mirror, I'm not a kid anymore
Bb
La la la la la la la
Gm
La la la la la la la
            Dm
I'm singing nursery rhymes, instead of stadiums now
           C 
and when I look at the light, I can hear the crowd
Bb              Gm
real world .... mmmmmm
             Dm                         C       Bb  Gm
(is this the real world, it is the real world)
             Dm                         C
(is this the real world, it is the real world)
Bb
I feel the pain of everyone
Gm
I feel the pain of everyone
Dm
I feel the same as everyone
    C                    Dm
and everyone I feel your pain
Bb    Gm                 Dm     C
        I feel your pain

[Outro]
            F
Is this the real world
            Bb      Dm
is this the real life?
               C         F
is this really happening now?
               Bb           F
is this really happening to me?
