Queen (Freddie Mercury)
Hot Space (1982)


[Verse 1]

G           G/F#   Em     D
Guilt stains on my pillow
G           G/F#      Em  D
Blood on my terraces
C            Cadd9
Torsos in my closet
C               Am
Shadows from my past


[Chorus]

        G   G/F#
Life is real
        Bm    D
Life is real
        F  C     G
Life is real, so real
G        G/F#  Em      D
Sleeping is my leisure
G      G/F#    Em        D
Waking up in a minefield
C               Cadd9
Dream is just a pleasure dome
C                  Am
Love is a roulette wheel
        G    G/F#
Life is real
        Bm    D
Life is real
        F  C     G
Life is real, oh yeah


[Verse 2]

   Bm         F#
Success is my breathing space
  A               G
I brought it on myself

I will price it

I will cash it
      F#
I can take it or leave it
D                C
Loneliness is my hiding place
Bm
Breastfeeding myself
Bm        Bb    A
What more can I say
       Em
I have swallowed the bitter pill
      G               A
I can taste it, I can taste it


[Chorus]

           D  C           D C       F C   F  C
Life is real, life is real, life is real


[Solo] 
(verse chords)


[Bridge]

G    G/F#        Em      D
   Music will be my mistress
G  G/F#          Em     D
   Loving like a whore
C              Cadd9
   Lennon is a genius
   C               Am
   Living in every pore


[Outro]

           G    G/F#
   Life is real
           Bm    D
   Life is real
           F  C     G
   Life is real, so real

G/F#       G     
   Life is cruel
G/F#         G
   Life is a bitch
G/F#       C         G     G/F#   Em  D
   Life is real - so real
           G    G/F#   Em  D
   Life is real
           G    G/F#   Em  D
   Life is real, yeah
           G    G/F#   Em  D
   Life is real
