A
All is quiet
            E/G#
Down by the old sugar mill
 F#m
Everything but the wind
Is oh so still

Left behind until
The rust blended in
But once upon a time
You were here

Chorus:
                      A
Because everyone we know is gone
               E/G#
Everything we lost and found
              D                          F#m
We were just walking through an ordinary world
             A
And all our favourite things are gone
             E/G#
And the last dance is done
              D                    F#m
We were just lovers in an ordinary world

What are we if not our memories
Well it’s been years since 2051
Yeah that was when I last heard you call my name
But if someone’s out there please give me a sign

Chorus:
Because everyone we know is gone
Everything we lost and found
We were just walking through an ordinary world
And all our favourite things are gone
And our last dance is done
We were just lovers in an ordinary world

F
Lovers in an ordinary
Dm
Lovers in an ordinary
A
Lovers in an ordinary world
Lovers in an ordinary world -

All is quiet down by the old sugar mill
I’m the last one still standing here
