Tom: Em7
{Capotraste on the 3rd fret}
Em7 A6/9 (4x)
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 D7+
I think it's true that nothing is 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 A7/4 D7+ A4 G7+
doesn't it seem to come down the same for everyone?
D A11 D A11
Only love is real, everything else illusion
D F#m7/C# F#m7 Bm E7 A D7+
adding to the confusion of the way we connive at being alive
G7+ Em7 F#m7 F#7
tracing a line till we can define
Bm Bm7 E7
the thing that allows us to feel
D7+ A11 D7+ A11
only love is real, only love is real.
Em7 A6/9 (4x)
Em7 Bm
Childhood dreams like muddy waters
Em7 Bm7
flowing through me to my son and daughters
Em7 A6/9 D7+
everything I ever thought is 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 A7/4 D7+ A4 G7+
maybe I could have spared you giving your youth to me.
D A11 D A11
Only love is real, everything else illusion
D F#m7/C# F#m7 Bm E7 A D7+
adding to the confusion of the way we contrive to just stay alive
G7+ Em7 F#m7 F#7
tracing a line till we can define
Bm Bm7 E7
the thing that allows us to feel
D7+ A11 D7+ A11
only love is real, only love is real,
Dmaj9 A11 D7+ A11
only love is real, only love is real.
