Only Love Is Real
from "Thoroughbred", 1976
[Em7] [A6/9]
As I [Em7]bask in the glow of a [Bm]just-lit fire
[Em7]feeling the warmth as the [Bm7]flame grows higher
[Em7]I think it's true that [A6/9]nothing is really new [Dmaj7]under the sun
watching a [Bm7]new love grow from [E7]old love's embers
[Bm7]yesterday's gone but [E7]today remembers
[Em7/B]doesn't it seem to come [A7sus4]down the same for [Dmaj7][Asus4]everyone?[Gmaj7]
Only [D]love is [A11]real, [D]everything else [A11]illusion
[D]adding to the [F#m7/C#]confusion [F#m7]of the [Bm]way we [E7]connive at [A]being [Dmaj7]alive
[Gmaj7]tracing a [Em7]line till [F#m7]we can [F#7]define
the [Bm]thing that [Bm7]allows us to [E7]feel
only [Dmaj7]love is [A11]real, only [Dmaj7]love is [A11]real.
[Em7] [A6/9]
[Em7]Childhood dreams like [Bm]muddy waters
[Em7]flowing through me to my [Bm7]son and daughters
[Em7]everything I ever [A6/9]thought is confirmed as [Dmaj7]truth to me
even as I [Bm7]see the way that I [E7]want to go now
[Bm7]still I wish I had [E7]known twhat I know now
[Em7/B]maybe I could have [A7sus4]spared you giving your [Dmaj7]youth to [Asus4]me.[Gmaj7]
Only [D]love is [A11]real, [D]everything else [A11]illusion
[D]adding to the [F#m7/C#]confusion [F#m7]of the [Bm]way we [E7]contrive to [A]just stay [Dmaj7]alive
[Gmaj7]tracing a [Em7]line till [F#m7]we can [F#7]define
the [Bm]thing that [Bm7]allows us to [E7]feel
only [Dmaj7]love is [A11]real, only [Dmaj7]love is [A11]real,
only [Dmaj9]love is [A11]real, only [Dmaj7]love is [A11]real.
