Jeff Carson - Real Life Chords

A                   F#m     D             E
I was young, he was old, we both were the same age
     A           F#m            D                E
Everyday playing fetch, shakin’ hands he’d lick my face
Bm        E       A   E         F#m
And I was unaware the day would come
Bm          E                         A                   E
And when he died was the first time I knew what real pain was…

(chorus)

A           E       F#m    D
And I never was the same again
A                E       F#m    D

A                F#m               D           E
Senior high, girlfriends, football games, graduation
       A              F#m          D        E
Summer break spent my time filling out applications
Bm         E                 A            E     F#m
A few superficial years went by they were all a blur
Bm               E           A               E
And in the most unlikely situation there you were, yeah…

(chorus)

A           E       F#m    D
And I never was the same again
A                E       F#m    D
      A  E  F#m  D / A  E  F#m  D
With you…

        A              F#m            D             E
By your side scared to death felt the pain you were fightin’
          A            F#m             D              E
Placed my palm on your head spoke your name just keep tryin’
Bm           E                    A    E        F#m
And then you closed your eyes and took one last breath
Bm              E                           A                E
And when it was over you looked up laid our baby across your breast…
