Intro

     
     

Verse 1

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 

Pre-Chorus 1

What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is the life that I recognise?
Gone away

Chorus

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

Interlude

C#m7 C#m6 C#m* C#madd9 F# F#7

Verse 2

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 

Pre-Chorus 2

What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

Chorus

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

Instrumental

     
     

Verse 3

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow  
Ooh, here beside the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk 

Solo

     
     

Chorus

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

Outro

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  
(fade out)
