Intro: F Am G (x2)

Verse 1:
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

Pre-chorus:
(nc)
No, I cannot fix it, no, I cannot make it stop

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

Verse 2:
Am
Prays on her knees as the towers fall
     F                 C      G
To a God she does not know
Am
She's begging him to stop the mess
    F            C       G
The Boston bombs blow (Ooh)
Am
She says, "How could I ever believe in something
           F               C      G
That would step aside and watch?"
Am                                                   F
And I got no words to say 'cause I think I lost my faith
       C                          G
But I thank you for the day when everything will be okay

Pre-chorus:
(nc)
But no, I cannot fix it, and I cannot make it stop

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

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

                 G
Can we live that real life, real life?"
          F                                            Am
