INTRO: G   Gmaj7   C   D/C C G   Gmaj7   C   Cadd9

        G                           C
I don't buy the lines in magazines

That tell me what I've gotta be
      Am7
Don't base my life on a movie screen
       D                          G         Am7
I don't fit the mould society has planned


      G                              C
Don't need to be nineteen years old

Or starve myself for some weight I'm told
                     Am7
Will turn men's heads down that road
                  D            G               C
And I thank god I finally know just who I am



I ain't a movie star
     G                       E7              Am
They never see the view from where they are
                      D                G 
And this old town may be as far as I'm going
           C                          G 
What he'll hold tonight in his hands
                     E7           A7
He swears is so much better than
                            D
Anything that this old world can show him


CHORUS:
      G           D           C
I'm a real (real) live (live) woman 
                            G                     Em
In love with this man I see lying here next to me
            D               C
Lost in the way that's he's holding me
     G           D          C
This real (real) live (live) woman
                                G                           Em
In the arms of a man where I'll fall asleep knowing there's 
           D             C
Nothing on earth he loves more than
                 D          G         C  Cadd9
This real (real) live (live) woman


  G                       
I work nine to five and can't relate
   C
To millionaires who somehow fate
    Am7
Has smiled upon and fortune made
     D7                          G         C
Their common lives a better place to be


BRIDGE:
                     G
I no longer justify
                             C     D   C
Reasons for the way that I behave
                      G
I offer no apologies
                                  C      Cadd9
For the things that I believe and say
                        D
And I like it that way


CHORUS:
             G           D           C
'Cause I'm a real (real) live (live) woman 
                            G                     Em
In love with this man I see lying here next to me
            D               C
Lost in the way that's he's holding me
     G           D          C
This real (real) live (live) woman
                                G                           Em
In the arms of a man where I'll fall asleep knowing there's 
           D             C
Nothing on earth he loves more than
                 D          G          C    Cadd9    G
This real (real) live (live) woman (woman)
