Duran Duran - Ordinary World Chords & Tabs

Intro = Chorus

Verse One
Bm                            D             E
Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Bm                                   D      E
Thought I heard you talking softly
Bm                             D            E                      
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio
Bm                                D     E  
Still I can't escape the ghost of you.
Bm 
What is happening to it all
F#m
Crazy some'll say
C#                             D
Where is the life that I recognise?  Gone away.

Chorus
A                              Em7
But I won't cry for yesterday
                    G6sus4/C  G6/B          Dsus4
There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find
A                       Em                  G6sus4/C          
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
         G6/B        Gm/Bb
I will learn to survive.

Bm    D   E

Verse two
Bm                          D                  E
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
Bm                             D       E
Pride will tear us both apart
         Bm
Well now pride's gone out the window, 
          D                  E
cross the rooftops, run away
Bm                          D         E
Left me in the vacuum of my heart.
Bm
What is happening to me?
F#m
Crazy some'll say
C#                            D
Where is my friend when I need you most?  Gone away

Bm                             D                   E
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Bm                             E                   E
Feared today, forgot tomorrow
Bm                             D             E
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need
