[Strophe]
D             G 
Cowboys don't cry, 
A               D 
And heroes don't die. 
           G 
Good always wins 
A           D 
Again and again. 
              G       A 
And love is a sweet dream 
                  D 
That always comes true 
                      G 
Oh, if life were like the movies, 
A           D     G/D 
I'd never be blue.
[Refrain]
D               G 
But here in the real world, 
                     D 
It's not that easy at all, 
                      A   A7 
Cause when hearts get broken, 
                     D 
It's real tears that fall. 
                    G 
And darlin', it's sad but true, 
                       D 
But the one thing I've learned from you, 
                    Em      D/F#    G 
Is how the boy don't always get the girl, 
A                G 
Here in the real world.

[Strophe]
D             G 
I gave you my love, 
  A             D 
But that wasn't enough, 
             G 
To hold your heart 
  A           D 
When times got rough. 
               G           A 
And tonight on that silver screen, 
                   D 
It'll end like it should, 
                  G 
Two lovers will make it through 
A               D     G/D 
Like I hoped we would.
[Refrain]
D               G 
But here in the real world, 
                     D 
It's not that easy at all, 
                      A   A7 
Cause when hearts get broken, 
                     D 
It's real tears that fall. 
                    G 
And darlin', it's sad but true, 
                       D 
But the one thing I've learned from you, 
                    Em      D/F#    G 
Is how the boy don't always get the girl, 
A                G 
Here in the real world.

D                Em      D/F#     G 
No, the boy don't always get the girl 
  A          G         D A D 
Here in the real world.
