     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                  D7M 
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                   A74            D7M        A4 G7M 
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      D7M 
adding to the confusion   of the  way we connive at being alive 
G7M     Em7       F#m7      F#7 
tracing a line till we can define 
    Bm           Bm7        E7 
the thing that allows us to feel 
     D7M   A11        D7M   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                    D7M 
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              A74                 D7M        A4 G7M 
maybe I could have spared you giving your youth to me.

adding to the confusion   of the  way we contrive to just stay alive 
G7M     Em7       F#m7      F#7 
tracing a line till we can define 
    Bm           Bm7        E7 
the thing that allows us to feel 
     D7M   A11        D7M   A11 
only love is real, only love is real, 
     Dmaj9   A11        D7M   A11 
only love is real, only love is real.
