[Verse 1]
Bm                            D             E
Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Bm                                   D      E
Thought I heard you talking softly
Bm                             D            E
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio
Bm                                D     E
Still I can't escape the ghost of you.
Bm
What is happening to it all
F#m
Crazy some'll say
C#                             D
Where is the life that I recognise?  Gone away.
 
[Chorus]
 
A                              Em7
But I won't cry for yesterday
                    G6sus4/C  G6/B          Dsus4
There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find
A                       Em                  G6sus4/C
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
         G6/B        Gm/Bb
I will learn to survive.
 
Bm    D   E
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Bm                          D                  E
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
Bm                             D       E
Pride will tear us both apart
         Bm
Well now pride's gone out the window, 
          D                  E
cross the rooftops, run away
Bm                          D         E
Left me in the vacuum of my heart.
Bm
What is happening to me?
F#m
Crazy some'll say
C#                            D
Where is my friend when I need you most?  Gone away
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A                             Em7
But I won't cry for yesterday
                    G6sus4/C      G6/B      Dsus4
There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find
A                       Em7                 G6sus4/C
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
       G6/B         D
I will learn to survive.

[Verse 3]
 
Bm                             D                   E
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Bm                             E                   E
Feared today, forgot tomorrow
Bm                             D             E
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need
Bm                                  D        E
Ours is just a little sorrow talk
 
Instrumental (same as previous - done by electric guitar)
A    Em    G6sus4/C    G6/B     Dsus4
A    Em    G6sus4/C    G6/B     Dsus4
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A                         Em7
But I don't cry for yesterday
                     G6sus4/C G6/B          Dsus4
There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find
A                       Em                  G6sus4/C
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
       G6/B         Dsus4
I will learn to survive.
 
A      Em7        G6sus4/C      G6/B         Dsus4
Every world is my world (I will learn to survive)
A    Em7        G6sus4/C      G6/B         Dsus4
Any world is my world (I will learn to survive)
A    Em7        G6sus4/C      G6/B         Dsus4
Any world is my world 
A      Em7        G6sus4/C    G6/B         Dsus4
Every world is my world 
 
Fade or alternately, after Dsus4 finish with A.

The chorus confuses me slightly, but other than that - and the fact it should be on capo second for the original key, these are really good chords - probably the best on here.

Capo 2nd, I'd say.
