     Em7                   Bm 
As I bask in the glow of a just-lit fire 
Em7                       Bm7 
feeling the warmth as the flame grows higher 
Em7                    A6/9                  Dmaj7 
I think it's true that nothing is really new under the sun 
           Bm7                E7 
watching a new love grow from old love's embers 
Bm7                    E7 
yesterday's gone but today remembers 
Em7/B                   A7sus4            Dmaj7        Asus4 Gmaj7 
doesn't it seem to come down the same for everyone?

Only love is real, everything else illusion 
D                F#m7/C#  F#m7    Bm        E7      A      Dmaj7 
adding to the confusion   of the  way we connive at being alive 
Gmaj7     Em7       F#m7      F#7 
tracing a line till we can define 
    Bm           Bm7        E7 
the thing that allows us to feel 
     Dmaj7   A11        Dmaj7   A11 
only love is real, only love is real.

Em7                   Bm 
Childhood dreams like muddy waters 
Em7                      Bm7 
flowing through me to my son and daughters 
Em7               A6/9                    Dmaj7 
everything I ever thought is confirmed as truth to me 
          Bm7                E7 
even as I see the way that I want to go now 
Bm7                E7 
still I wish I had known twhat I know now 
Em7/B              A7sus4                 Dmaj7        Asus4 Gmaj7 
maybe I could have spared you giving your youth to me.

D                F#m7/C#  F#m7    Bm        E7       A          Dmaj7 
adding to the confusion   of the  way we contrive to just stay alive 
Gmaj7     Em7       F#m7      F#7 
tracing a line till we can define 
    Bm           Bm7        E7 
the thing that allows us to feel 
     Dmaj7   A11        Dmaj7   A11 
only love is real, only love is real, 
     Dmaj9   A11        Dmaj7   A11 
only love is real, only love is real.
