C#m7
Came in from a rainy thursday
E        F#sus4 F#
on the avenue
C#m7                              E F#sus4 F#
thought I heard you talking softly
C#m7
I turned on the lights, the tv
E           F#sus4 F#
and the radio
C#m                                E F#sus4 F#
still I can't escape the ghost of you

C#m
What is happened to it all?
G#m7
Crazy, some say
D#7                       E
Where is the life that I recognize?
E
gone away

Chorus:
B                         F#m7
But I won't cry for yesterday
                     D
there's an ordinary world
         A         E
somehow I have to find
B                       F#m7
And as I try to make my way
                D
to the ordinary world
         A         F#m7
I will learn to survive

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
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

Chorus

C#m7
Papers in the roadside
         E             F#
Tell of suffering and greed
C#m
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
E F#sus4 F#
        Ooh
C#m7
Here besides the news of
      E            F#
holy war and holy need
C#m
Ours is just a little sorrowed
E   F#
talk

Chorus

Every one
Is my world, (I will learn to survive)
Any one
Is my world, (I will learn to survive)
Any one
Is my world
Every one
Is my world
