Ordinary World Tab

The verses are: C#m (446654) E   (022100) B (224442)


Came in from a rainy thursday
        
on the avenue
C3m                                	  
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 happened to it all?

Crazy, some say
                           
Where is the life that I recognize?

gone away

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


Passion or coincidence
         
once prompted you to say
C3m                
"Pride will tear us both apart"

Well now pride's gone out the window
             
cross the rooftops, runaway
                  
left me in the vacuum of my heart


What is happening to me?

Crazy, some say
                           
Where is my friend when I need you most?

Gone away

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


Papers in the roadside
        
tell of suffering and greed
C3m              
feared today, forgot tomorrow

ooh, here beside the news
               
of holy war and holy need
                  
ours is just a little sorrowed talk


(Just blowing away)

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