Main Riff:

C#m

Came in from a rainy Thursday

E B

on the avenue

C3m E B

thought I heard you talking softly

C#m E B

I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio

C#m E B

still I can't escape the ghost of you

C#m

What is happened to it all?

G#m

Crazy, some say

B E

Where is the life that I recognize?

E

gone away

B F#m

But I won't cry for yesterday

A

there's an ordinary world

E B

somehow I have to find

B F#m

And as I try to make my way

A

to the ordinary world

A E

I will learn to survive

C#m

Passion or coincidence

E B

once prompted you to say

C3m E B

"Pride will tear us both apart"

C#m

Well now pride's gone out the window

E B

cross the rooftops, runaway

C#m E B

left me in the vacuum of my heart

C#m

What is happening to me?

G#m

Crazy, some say

B E

Where is my friend when I need you most?

E

Gone away

B F#m

But I won't cry for yesterday

A

there's an ordinary world

E B

somehow I have to find

B F#m

And as I try to make my way

A

to the ordinary world

A E

I will learn to survive

C#m

Papers in the roadside

E B

tell of suffering and greed

C3m E B

feared today, forgot tomorrow

C#m

ooh, here beside the news

E B

of holy war and holy need

C#m E B

ours is just a little sorrowed talk

E

(Just blowing away)
