C#m A E
B
[Verse 1]
C#m A E
Another head for the mantelpiece
B
Is that what you demand from me?
C#m A E
A macabre charade, another work of art
B
Broken, twisted, torn apart
C#m A E
It’s a fallacy,
B
if you’re asking me, it’s blasphemy
C#m A E
Real life
B A
is happening outside
[Chorus]
C#m B
It's happened once or twice
A G#m C#m B
Put it all on the line for you to take it all away
A C#m B
It's time to roll the dice
B A G#m C#m B
Real life is happening outside
[Verse 2]
C#m A
Another one for the record books
B
Truth be told, it all comes back to love
C#m A
A ménage à trois between your head and heart
B
Inside the same vessel but worlds apart
C#m A
It’s a catastrophe
B
If you’re asking me, it’s clear to see
C#m A
Real life
E B C#m E
is happening outside
[Chorus]
G# A C#m B
Oh oh it's happened once or twice
A C#m B
Put it all on the line for you to take it all away
A C#m B
Chasing wasted time
B A C#m B
Real life is happening outside
[Chorus]
C#m E B
Ooooh woah oh it's happened once or twice
G#m C#m
Put it all on the line
E B G# G#m
for you to take it all away
[Verse 3]

Another head for the mantelpiece

Is that what you demand from me?

A macabre charade, another work of art

Broken, twisted, torn apart

It’s a fallacy, if you’re asking me, it’s blasphemy

Real life
Cm C#m
Real life is happening outside

You know there’s nowhere left to hide

Real life is happening outside
[Verse 4] (play softly until the first B)
C#m B
It’s happened once or twice
A G#m C#m B
Put it all on the line for you to take it all away
A C#m B
A blessing in disguise
A G#m C#m B
Real life is happening outside
