Tuning: Standard

Grease (1978)

The recording is somewhere between Bb and B. It's probably best transcribed

Am                             D       Am
 They think our love is just a growin' pain

Why don't they  understand? It's just a cryin' shame

 Their lips are lyin', only real is real

We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel

 This is a life of illusion, wrapped up in troubles,
            E                           Am
Laced in confusion, what are we doin' here?     (LICK)
