Dm                             Gm
woke up this morning just like every man does
C                                F
walked to the bathroom just like every man does
Gm                    Em7-5
made my bed just like every man must
A                                Dm
nursed my head my head just like every man must

Spent the day playing Nina Simone
Reorganized every record I own
I see my friends, we drank beer in a can
Half-drunk they smile, it'll be alright, man

               Gm                    C
just like the king who's losing his worth,
             F                    Dm
i'm like a snob that's fallen to Earth.
          Gm                          C
Everyone thinks that I’m staying the same
                   F                 Dm
are they secretly happy that I am in pain?

Chorus:
                    Gm
so you say it's ordinary love,
C                         F
but that's impossible to do
Dm                           Gm
there's no such thing as ordinary love
C                       F
i was ordinary just to you

Does it mean that I'm a regular man
Not as special as I think that I am?
As for you, all that I want to know
Did you stay up as I tumbled so low?

Just like a king who's losing his worth
I'm like the sun that's fallen to Earth
Everyone thinks that I'm staying the same
Are they secretly happy that I am in pain?

Chorus - x2

If I was ordinary
And love was ordinary
If I was ordinary
Oh, so very ordinary
If love was ordinary
And I was ordinary
Are you too?
