I loved the production and the lyrics of this song. The way that he executed the song, the feel and energy in his vocals, everything gave this song a real feel. The rhythm felt right, the bass felt right and the chords were interesting, especially that Ab Major chord. It brought a sense of power to the song. What do you think about this song? Comment below.

[INTRO] E Ab C#m B x2
[VERSE]
E                    Ab
Well I grew up in a real town
C#m               B
Where the prom queen had a plastic crown 
E                Ab
And we really did just drive around 
C#m    B
'Cause there wasn't sh!t to do
E                  Ab
We didn't know we were real broke
C#m                 B
Daddy rolled them real smokes
E           Ab
We drank RC, no real Coke
C#m          B
But our neighbor had a pool
[PRE-CHORUS]
E             Ab              C#m
We got green grass and two trees 
B
Whoa oh oh oh oh
E                 Ab        C#m
But it ain't like what's on TV
B
Whoa oh oh oh oh
[CHORUS]
E        Ab       C#m     A
This is real life in the real world
E             Ab
We ain't talking to no models
C#m   A
We got real girls
E    Ab        C#m   A
We get real low, we get real high
E         Ab      C#m       A
It ain't all good baby but it's all right 
E
Real life
[INSTRUMENTAL] E Ab C#m B x2
[VERSE] 
E
We got a dive bar
Ab                  C#m
With a real band, they play too loud
B
And they're real bad
E              Ab
But we're real boys so we still dance
C#m              B
And we stay out way too late
E                     Ab
Hit the Waffle House for some real food
C#m             B
But that waitress, she's real rude
E             Ab                C#m       B
She got real problems but we do too so we tip her anyway
E                Ab            C#m  B
That's just the way that it is Whoa oh oh oh oh
E                 Ab          C#m   B
That's just the way that we live Whoa oh oh oh oh
[CHORUS]
E        Ab       C#m     A
This is real life in the real world
E             Ab
We ain't talking to no models
C#m   A
We got real girls
E    Ab        C#m   A
We get real low, we get real high
E         Ab      C#m       A
It ain't all good baby but it's all right 
E
Real life
[INSTRUMENTAL] E Ab C#m B x2
E              Ab
We find real love, get real hurt 
C#m             B
Fall real hard, shake off the dirt 
E            Ab
Pray to God, let's make a deal 
C#m             B
I guess it just got real
[INSTRUMENTAL] E Ab C#m B x2
E    Ab        C#m   A
We get real low, we get real high
E         Ab      C#m       A
It ain't all good baby but it's all right 
E
Real life
E                   Ab         C#m   B
This ain't no fairy tale, it's real life
