Duran Duran - Ordinary World

VERSE
 -6  -7  -6 -7 -6 -7 -6 -7
Came in from a rainy Thursday
-6 -6  -7 5 5
On the avenue
 5     -6  -7   -6   -7 7   -7 -6
Thought I heard you talking softly
-6  -7  -6  -7   -6    -7  -66 
I turned on the lights, the TV
-7  -6 -6-75
And the radio
  5   -6 -7   -6 -7   7   -7  -66 -66
Still I can't escape the ghost of you

BRIDGE
 5   -6    -7 -6   -7   -6
What has happened to it all?
 5 -6   -7  -6   -7
Crazy, some are saying
 -7   -6 -6  -6    6  -7  -6-7 -6 
Where is the life that I recognize?
 6   -6 6
Gone away
  
CHORUS
(6)-7 -8    -8  -8  7 -7  -6
But I won't cry for yesterday
 -6      6 -6 6-6 7  7
There's an ordinary world
 -6 7   7  7   -8 -8
Somehow I have to find
(6) -7 -8-8  -8  7   -7 -6
And as I try to make my way
-6  6  -6 6-6 7  7
To the ordinary world
-6 7     7    7  -8 -8
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
