Ordinary World

by Duran Duran/Something for Kate

VERSE

ABABABAB

Came in from a rainy Thursday

AABEE

On the avenue

EABABCBA

Thought I heard you talking softly

ABABABAG

I turned on the lights, the TV

BAABE

And the radio

EABABCBAGAG

Still I can't escape the ghost of you

BRIDGE

EABABA

What has happened to it all?

EABAB

Crazy, some are saying

BAAAGBABA

Where is the life that I recognize?

GAG

Gone away

CHORUS

ABD+D+D+CBA

But I won't cry for yesterday

AGAGACC

There's an ordinary world

ACCCD+D+

Somehow I have to find

ABD+D+D+CBA

And as I try to make my way

AGAGACC

To the ordinary world

ACCCD+D+

I will learn to survive

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'd 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
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides 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
