( note : this version is transposed +4 semitones from the original because i
find this key easier to play in on piano . just set the transpose function
above to – 4 if you want the original key . also , the chords in parenthesis
are alternate chords – – both sound good , but i like the first best . )
intro : G – – Dm7 – – A# – – F/A – – G#/A#
Am
came in from a rainy thursday
C D
on the avenue
Am C D
thought i heard you talking softly
Am
i turned on the lights , the tv
C D
and the radio
Am C D
still i can’t escape the ghost of you
Am
what is happened to it all?
Em
crazy , some say
B7/D# C D
where is the life that i recognize?
G
gone away
G Dm7 ( or Dm )
but i won’t cry for yesterday
A#
there’s an ordinary world
F/A C
somehow i have to find
G Dm7 ( or Dm )
and as i try to make my way
A#
to the ordinary world
F/A G#/A#
i will learn to survive
fill : Am – – F/A – – D/A
Am
passion or coincidence
C D
once prompted you to say
Am C D
“pride will tear us both apart”
Am
well now pride’s gone out the window
C D
cross the rooftops , runaway
Am C D
left me in the vacuum of my heart
Am
what is happening to me?
Em
crazy , some say
B7/D# C D
where is my friend when i need you most?
G
gone away
G Dm7 ( or Dm )
but i won’t cry for yesterday
A#
there’s an ordinary world
F/A C
somehow i have to find
G Dm7 ( or Dm )
and as i try to make my way
A#
to the ordinary world
F/A C
i will learn to survive
( guitar solo )
G – – Dm7 ( or Dm ) – – A# – – F/A – – C
G – – Dm7 ( or Dm ) – – A# – – F/A – – G#/A#
( same pattern for the rest of the song )
papers in the roadside
tell of suffering and greed
feared today , forgot tomorrow
ooh , here beside the news
of holy war and holy need
ours is just a little sorrowed talk
and i don’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
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
