 G                 F
You and I were two old and tortured souls
  Em                   D#
Repaired by a love of broken things
G                     F
In a life, just some bodies growing old
    Em                 D#
No fear of the end, of anything

Chorus:
D                    C               G
We're just ordinary people, you and me
D                        C               G
Time will turn us into statues, eventually

We got by, though we never needed much
A sliver of hope, no diamond rings
We got high, it was heaven, it was hell
Fly over them with broken wings

Chorus:
We're just ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues, eventually
Oh, just two ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues, eventually

Am           C
Our bones forever in stone
 G            D
Monuments of life
Am          C
To dust, as everything must
    G            D
We fade away in time, oh

Chorus
