C
For me it's a beach bar

Or on a boat underneath the stars

Or with my band up on a stage

For a while everything's okay

C
For some it's a fast car

Moonshine in a mason jar
Dm            C/E
And everybody has their way
F        G
Somehow to escape

Chorus:
   C
Reality, yeah,

Sometimes life ain't all that it's cracked

Up to be

So let's take a chance and live this
C
Fantasy
G
'Cause everybody needs to break
Dm
Free
F          C
From reality

Yeah, some days it's a bitch, it's a bummer
We need a rock and roll show in the summer
To let the music take us away
Take our minds to a better place

Where we feel that sense of freedom
Leave our worries behind, we don't need them
All we need is a sunny day and an old tailgate
And we'll escape

Chorus:
Reality, yeah, sometimes life
It is not all that it's cracked up to be
So let's take a chance and live this fantasy
Because everybody needs to break free from reality

Dm                              C/E
Everybody raise your hands and voice tonight
F                          G
Set your soul free, let's take a carpet ride
G
We'll leave it all behind

Chorus:
Reality, yeah, sometimes life
It is not all that it's cracked up to be
So let's take a chance and live this fantasy
Because everybody needs to break free from
reality yeah yeah

Come on everybody, break free
Come on everybody, break free
