When by the phone, in vain you sit
5 6 -6 6 -6 6 -7 -6 6
You ver-y soon in your mind real-ize
-5 5 4 -4 4 6 -5 5 -4 4 4 -44 -4 3
That it’s not just an or-di-nar-y pain in your heart
5 6 -6 6 6 5 6 -6 -6
When you by chance go knock on her door
5 6 -6 6 -6 6 -7 -6 6 -5 5
Walk-in’ a-way you’re con-vinced that it’s much more
4 -4 4 6 -5 5 -4 4 4 -44 -4 3
Than just an or-di-nar-y pain in your heart
5 -4 4 -4 4 6 -5 5 -4 4 4 -44 -4 6
It’s more than just an or-di-nar-y pain in your heart

Don’t fool your-self, tell no one else
5 -4 -4 4 -4 4 6 -5 6 -6 6 5 -6 6
That it’s more than just an or-di-nar-y pain in your heart
When you catch up but she says good bye
Hold back your tears and be-fore you start to cry
Say you feel un-nec-es-sar-y pain in your heart
Tell her you’re glad, it’s o-ver in fact
Can she take with her the pain she brought you back?
Tak-in’ that or-di-nar-y pain from your heart
It’s more than just an or-di-nar-y pain from your heart
Don’t fool your-self, tell no one else
That it’s more than just an or-di-nar-y pain in your heart
