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?
