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)
