Intro: G A D G D

Cowboys don't cry,

And heroes don't die.

And good always wins

Again and again.

And love is a sweet dream
A7 D
That always comes true

Oh, if life were like the movies,
A7 D G D
I'd never be blue.
Chorus:
D7 G
But here in the real world,
D
It's not that easy at all,
A7
'Cause when hearts get broken,
D
It's real tears that fall.
D7 G
And darlin', it's sad but true,
D
But the one thing I've learned from you,
Em G
Is how the boy don't always get the girl,
A7 G D G A D G D
Here in the real world.
G A
I gave you my love,
D
But that wasn't enough,
G A
To hold your heart

When times got tough.

And tonight on that silver screen,
A7 D
It'll end like it should,

Two lovers will make it through
A7 D G D
Like I hoped we would.
