E C G Am

E                Am
Came in from a rainy Thursday
 G           C
On the avenue
   E                 Am             G   Am
Thought I heard you talking softly
   Em               Am
Turned on all the lights, the TV
 G             C
and the radio
   E              Am               G    A
Still I can't escape the ghost of you

[prechorus]
 Em
What has happened to it all?
 Bm
Crazy, some would say
 Gbm                           G
Where is the life that I recognize?


 D                         A
But I won't cry for yesterday
            C
There's an ordinary world
                    A   Am
Somehow I have to find
  D
And as I try to make my way
    C
To the ordinary world
                       Ebm Bm
I will learn to survive

[verse]
  E              Am
Passion or coincidence
       G              C
Once prompted you to say
    E               Am           G  Am
"Pride will tear us both apart!"
 Am          E                  Am
Well now pride's gone out the window
  G
Cross the rooftops
         C
Run away
  E           Am            G    A
Left me in a vacuum of my heart

[prechorus]
 Em
What has happened to me?
  Bm
Crazy, some would say
  Gbm                          G         A Bm
Where is my friend when I need you most?


                           Gbm
But I won't cry for yesterday
            Gb        G
There's an ordinary world
                   D    Bm
Somehow I have to find
                         Gbm
And as I try to make my way
Gb                G
To the ordinary world
                   D
I will learn to survive
