A#maj7
Girl I'm in love with you
D#maj7
This ain't the honeymoon
D#maj7               Fmaj7
Past the infatuation phase.
A#maj7
Right in the thick of love
D#maj7
At times we get sick of love
D#maj7                       Fmaj7
It seems like we argue every day.

       A#maj7              D#maj7
I know I misbehave and you made your mistakes
                                    Fmaj7
and we both still got room left to grow.
            A#maj7
And though love sometimes hurt,
    D#maj7
I still put you first and we'll make this thing work but I
 Fmaj7
think we should take it slow.

Chorus:
A#maj7               D#maj7
We're Just Ordinary People
D#maj7                Fmaj7
We don't know which way 2 go
A#maj7               D#maj7
Cause we're Ordinary People
D#maj7                Fmaj7
maybe we should take it slow.
     A#maj7        D#maj7
Take it slow-oh oh-oh-oh
D#maj7                Fmaj7
This time we'll take it slow
     A#maj7        D#maj7
Take it slow-oh oh-oh-oh
D#maj7                Fmaj7
This time we'll take it slow

This ain't a movie, no
No fairytale conclusion, y'all
It gets more confusin' every day, oh
Sometimes it's Heaven sent
Then we head back to Hell again
We kiss, then we make up on the way
I hang up, you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walkin' away
As our love advances
We take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy
I still want you to stay

Chorus:
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
'Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh, this time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh, yeah, this time we'll take it slow
Take it slow


A#m                        C#  
Maybe we'll live and learn, maybe we'll crash and burn
Fmaj7
Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave, maybe you'll return
A#m                  C#  
Maybe another fight, maybe we won't survive
Fmaj7
Maybe we'll grow, we never know, baby you and I

Chorus:
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go, yeah, hey
'Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow, hey, hey
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go, yeah
'Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh, this time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh, this time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, slow
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, oh
This time we'll take it slow
