Dm
Came in from a rainy Thursday
F         G/D
On the avenue
Dm                               F G/D
Thought I heard you talking softly
Dm
I turned on the lights, the TV
F          G/D
And the radio
Dm                                  F   G/D
Still I can't escape the ghost of you

Dm
What has happened to it all?
Am
Crazy, some'd say
E7/G#                     F
Where is the life that I recognize?
         C
Gone away

Chorus:
                          Gm7
But I won't cry for yesterday
                     D#
There's an ordinary world
          A#/D     F
Somehow I have to find
C                       Gm7
And as I try to make my way
                D#
To the ordinary world
       A#/D         A#m/C# Dm F G/D
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence, once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
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
