  G         D/F#       Em             D   C
Where can I find the city of shining light
                G    D
In an ordinary world?
 G         D/F#            Em        D  C
How can I leave a buried treasure behind
                G    D
In an ordinary world?

Chorus:
     Em              D    C
The days into years roll by
       Em                 D     C
It's where that I live until I die
          G   D/F# Em D C G D
Ordinary world

What would you wish if you saw a shooting star
In an ordinary world?
I'd walk to the end of the earth and afar
In an ordinary world

Chorus:
Baby, I don't have much
But what we have is more than enough
Ordinary world (Mmm, hmm-hmm)

Where can I find the city of shining light
In an ordinary world?
How can I leave a buried treasure behind
In an ordinary world?

Chorus:
Baby, I don't have much
But what we have is more than enough
Ordinary world (Mmm, hmm-hmm)
