Key: B
Introduction:
G C
I don't buy the lines in magazines that tell me what I ought to be
D G
Don't base my life on a movie screen. I don't fit the mold society has planned
G C
Don't need to be nineteen years old or starve myself for some weight I'm told
D G
Will turn men's heads down that road and I thank God I finally know just who I am
C G Em
I ain't a movie star. They never see the view from where they are
Am D G
And this old town may be as far as I'm going
C G Em
What he'll hold tonight in his hands he swears is so much better than
Am D
Anything that this old world can show him
CHORUS
G D C
I'm a real (real) live (live) woman
G
In love with this man I see lying here next to me
Em C
Lost in the way that's he's holding
G D C
This real (real) live (live) woman
G
In the arms of a man where I'll fall asleep knowing
Em C
There's nothing on earth he loves more than
G D G
This real (real) live (live) woman
G C
I work nine to five and can't relate to millionaires who somehow fate
D G
Has smiled upon and fortune made their common lives a better place to be
C G Em A
I no longer justify the reasons for the way that I behave
C G Em A
I offer no apologizes for the things that I believe and say
D
And I like it that way
REPEAT CHORUS
