Lyrics

This can't be real as long as I (G7)love you.

(Dmaj7)How could this ever be real,

as long as you're (Ab7)there?

(Gmaj7)Help me to feel the nightmare's (C9)behind me,

that your love will (C#m7)find (F#7)me anwhere.

(Dmaj7)Love is what's true, the rest is (G7)illusion.

(Dmaj7)What I've discovered with you, no one can (Ab7)steal.

The (Gmaj9)truth isn't what it (C#m7)(F#7)seems,

the (Bm7)truth is our wildest (E9)dreams,

real was your (A7sus)kiss, but as for (A7)this,

this can't be (D)real.

(Gmaj7)This can't be real, so why do I (C7)love her?

(Gmaj7)I know that this can't be real,

still she is (G7)there.

(Cmaj7)She isn't real but somehow she's (F9)found me,

to haunt and (F#m7)surround me,

(B7)she's (D)ev'rywhere.

(Gmaj7)This isn't true, it's only (C7)illusion,

(Gmaj7)what I've discovered with you is just an (G7)ideal.

You're (Cmaj9)merely a dream, I (F#m7)know,

(B7)so (Em7)why do I want you so?

(A7)Is it (D7sus)because, only (D7)because, this can't be (G)real,

(F69)this can't be (G)real.

(Abmaj7)Love is what's true,

the rest is (Db7)illusion,

(Abmaj7)what I've discovered with you, no one can (Ab9)steal.

No one can (D7b5)steal.

The (Dbmaj7)truth isn't what it (C7)seems,

the (Fm)truth is our wildest (Bb9)dreams.

(Ebaug)She's (Cmaj9)merely a dream, I (F#m7)(B7)know,

so (Em)why do I want her (A7)so?

Real was your (G)kiss,

is it (D7sus)because,

(D7)but as for (G)this,

only (E7)because, this can't be (Am7)real,

this can't be (D7)real,

this can't (G)be...

(Am7)this can't be (Gmaj9)real.
