     Am
She says that the world is a broken mess
     F              C  G
It's always on her mind
     Am
She cries at the news when the shots ring out
       F      C  G
Every single time

No, I cannot fix it, no,
I cannot make it stop

Chorus:
            F
So I said, "Turn your phone off,
                         Am
won't you look me in my eyes
                  G
Can we live that real life, real life?"
          F
Oh, hey, "Turn your phone off,
                         Am
won't you look me in my eyes
                  G
Can we live that real life, real life?"

She prays on her knees as the towers fall
To a god she does not know
She's begging him to stop the mess
As the Boston bombs will blow (Ooh)

She says, "How could I ever believe in something
That would step aside and watch?"
And I got no words to say 'cause
I think I lost my faith
But I fake it for the day, oh,
everything will be okay

But no, I cannot fix it, and
I cannot make it stop

Chorus

Dm               F
I wish I had the answers
C                    G
Something you could hold too
Dm                 F
Only thing that's real to me is
 C G
You

Chorus

     F                  Am
Oh, hey (Real life, hey)
 G
Real life, real life
     F  Am
Oh, hey
 G
Real life, real life
     F  C
Oh, hey
