C
Whose eyes am I behind?
I don't recognize anything that I see
Whose skin is this design?
I don't want this to be the way that you see me

C                      G#
I don’t understand anything anymore
         C
In this world that I’m tired of
Is taking me right up these walls
That I climb up
   G#
To get to your story
C                 G#
It’s anything but ordinary

Chorus:
F                             A#                C
And when the world is on its knees with me its fine
            F                           A#
And when I come to the rescue I get nothing
            C
but left behind
      G#                                 A#
Everybody seems to be getting what they need
      C  A#
with mine
             G#
‘Cause your what I need so very but
   A#           C
im anything but ordinary

Can you save me from this world of mine
Before I get myself arrested with this expectation?
You are the one
Look what you've done
What have you done?
This is not some kind of joke
You're just a kid
You weren't ready for what you did, no

Chorus:
And when the world is on its knees
With me, it's fine
And when I come to the rescue
I do it for you
Time after time
Everybody seems to be getting what they need
Where's mine?
'Cause you're what I need so very
But I'm anything but ordinary

C                     G#       A#         C
I think im trying to save the world from you
F                   A#  C
You’ve been saving me too
           F                        D#   Gm F C
We could just stay in and save each other

I'm anything but ordinary
I'm anything but ordinary
