Ordinary World Tab

by Duran Duran


Intro = Chorus

Verse One
                                         
Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
                                         
Thought I heard you talking softly
                                                               
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio
                                       
Still I can't escape the ghost of you.
 
What is happening to it all

Crazy some'll say
                             
Where is the life that I recognise?  Gone away.

Chorus
                              
But I won't cry for yesterday
                    G6sus4/  /          
There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find
                                         G6sus4/          
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
         /        /
I will learn to survive.

       

Verse two
                                            
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
                                    
Pride will tear us both apart
         
Well now pride's gone out the window, 
                            
cross the rooftops, run away
                                   
Left me in the vacuum of my heart.

What is happening to me?

Crazy some'll say
                            
Where is my friend when I need you most?  Gone away

Chorus
                             
But I won't cry for yesterday
                    G6sus4/      /      
There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find
                                        G6sus4/
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
       /         
I will learn to survive.

Verse three
                                                
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
                                                
Feared today, forgot tomorrow
                                          
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need
                                          
Ours is just a little sorrow talk

Instrumental (same as previous - done by electric guitar)
        G6sus4/    /     
        G6sus4/    /     

Chorus
                         
But I don't cry for yesterday
                     G6sus4/ /          
There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find
                                         G6sus4/
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
       /         
I will learn to survive.

              G6sus4/      /         
Every world is my world (I will learn to survive)
            G6sus4/      /         
Any world is my world (I will learn to survive)
            G6sus4/      /         
Any world is my world 
              G6sus4/    /         
Every world is my world 

Fade or alternately, after Dsus4 finish with A.
