Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

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

But still I can't escape the ghost of you

What is happening to me crazy some would say

Where is the life that I recognise, gone away

Chorus

And 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

Verse

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, runaway

Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me crazy some would say

where is my friend when I need you most gone away

Chorus

And 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

Bridge

What is happening to me crazy some would say

where is my friend when I need you most gone away

Chorus

And 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

Every world is my world (I will learn to survive)

Every world is my world somehow I have to find
