[Bsus4]

[Verse 1]
As I [Em]bask in the glow of [Bm]a just- lit fire
[Em]Feeling the warmth as
[Bm]the flames grow higher
[Em]I think it's true that nothi[Asus4]ng
is really new [D]under the sun
Watching [Bm]a new love grow
from [E]old love's embers
[Bm]Yesterday's gone but [E]today remembers
[Em]Doesn't it seem to come down[Asus4]
the same for [D]everyone[Asus4]
[D]Only love [Asus4]is real
[D]Everything [Asus4]else illusion
[D]Adding to the con[C#m]fusion
[F#]of the way w[Bm]e connive[E]
At [A]being [D]alive
[G]Tracing a line [Bm]till [F#m]we can define
The [Bm]thing that allows us to [Esus4]feel
[Asus4][D][A][Asus4]
Only [D]love [Asus4]is real[Em][Bm][Em][Bsus4]
[Em]Childhood drea[Bm]ms like
muddy [Bsus4]water s[Bm]
[Em]Flowing through me to my son[Bm]
[Em]and daughters
Everything I [Asus4]ever thought is
confirmed as [D]truth to me
Even as [Bm]I see the way
that [E]I want to go now
[Bm]Still I had wished I had known[E]
what I know [Em]now
Maybe I could have [Asus4]spared you
Giving your [D]youth to [Asus4]me
Only [D]love [Asus4]is real
[D]Everything [Bm]else il[Asus4]lusion
[D]Adding to [A]the [C#m]confu sion
[F#]of the w[Bm]ay we connive
[E]At bei[A]ng ali[D]ve
[G]Tracing a line [Bm]till [F#m]we can define
The [Bm]thing that allows us to
[Esus4]feel[E][Asus4]
Only [D]love [A]is [Asus4]real
Only [D]love [Bm]is[A][Asus4]
real
Everything else il[D]lu [Bm]sion
[A]Add[Asus4]ing to the confusion[D]
of [Bm]the way w[A]e connive[Asus4]
At [D]being alive
Tracing [A]a line [Asus4]till we can define
The thing [D]that allows us to feel
Only [A]love is [Asus4]real[Asus4]
[D][Asus4]
