C#m                           E          F#m
Came in from a rainy thursday on the avenue
C#m                             E   F#m
Thought I heard you talking softly.
C#m                             E          F#m
I turned on the lights, the tv and the radio
C#m                             E   F#m
Still I cant escape the ghost of you

C#m
What has happened to it all?
G#m
Crazy, some'd say,
D#                           E
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away...

B                         F#m
But I wont cry for yesterday,
                    D
Theres an ordinary world,
        C#m        E
Somehow I have to find.
B                         F#m
And as I try to make my way,
                   D
To the ordinary world,
       C#m         E
I will learn to survive.

C#m                         E                F#m
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
C#m                         E  F#m
Pride will tear us both apart
        C#m                                   E            F#m
Well now prides gone out the window cross the rooftops, run away,
C#m                         E   F#m
Left me in the vacuum of my heart.
C#m
What is happening to me?
G#m
Crazy, some'd say,
D#                        E
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away...


B                         F#m
But I wont cry for yesterday,
                    D
Theres an ordinary world,
        C#m        E
Somehow I have to find.
B                         F#m
And as I try to make my way,
                   D
To the ordinary world,
       C#m         E
I will learn to survive.


[Main riff]


C#m                             E             F#m
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
C#m                        E F#m
Here today, forgot tomorrow
     C#m                           E            F#m
Ooh, here besides the news of holy war and holy need
C#m                            E   F#m
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk


And I dont... (chorus)


*This next part is played using A and E so rather than writing that all out, you clever 
should work it out quickly!*

Every world, is my world... (I will learn to survive)
Any world, is my world ... (I will learn to survive)

Any world, is my world...
Every world is my world...


*Enjoy this great song*
