Bon Jovi ' Real Life Alright, well the recording I've got of this sounds to be tuned between E and Eb, which just makes things but it does work. The first chord is a D, so tune your guitar's D string down to the D on that first of the recording. Intro: -----------------2------2-------------2-----2----------| -----------------3------3-------------3-----3----------| -----------------2------2-------------2-----2----------| -----------------0------0-------------0-----0----------| -------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------| A E F#m D -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ----2---/--4---/---6---/--4-------------------- 2--/---4--/-- 6-- /---4------------------------| --------------------------------------2----4b--------------------------------------------------| ----0------2---/---4---/--2---------------------0----- 2--/-- 4--/---2-------------------------| ----------------------------------0------------------------------------------------------------| Verse: |: A | E | F#m | D :| I wish life was like it is in the movies Cos' the hero always gets his way No matter how hard it gets on that dark lonely road At the end, he's got a smile on his face But when they threw me out to the lions A E ---------------------------0----------------------------------------0-------------| ---------------------------0----------------------------------------0-------------| -----------------------2----------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------2-----------------------------------------2------------------| -------------------0-----------------------------------------2--------------------| -----------------------------------------------------------0----------------------| No one saved me as I fell from your grace F#/G D --------------------3-------------------------------------------2-----| --------------------3-----------------------------------------3-------| ------------------------------------------------------------2---------| -----------------0---------------------------------------0------------| ---------------0------------------------------------------------------| -------------2--------------------------------------------------------| And no one wrote me new lines of what I said wrong A E ---------------------------0----------------------------------------0-------------| ---------------------------0----------------------------------------0-------------| -----------------------2----------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------2-----------------------------------------2------------------| -------------------0-----------------------------------------2--------------------| -----------------------------------------------------------0----------------------| And what I did wrong I could not erase F#/G D --------------------3-------------------------------------------2-----| --------------------3-----------------------------------------3-------| ------------------------------------------------------------2---------| -----------------0---------------------------------------0------------| ---------------0------------------------------------------------------| -------------2--------------------------------------------------------| Chorus 'the same as the intro, with vocals.

| D | D | - On the link between the chorus and the verse here, it sounds like Richie is using a whammy bar or pedal over the chord, but it sounds like he's playing a 'D' chord. Verse
