VERSE:
D
I've been wasting my days,
G
Good and reckless and true,
C
I have danced in the dark at the edge of the water,
G
Swinging my hips at the black and the blue,
D G
When you die will you be surrounded by friends?
C
Will they pray for a heaven out loud,
G
a hope that somehow they will see you again?
A G
And at the end of the day, knowing not what it means,
G C
Will you stand in the ashes, building a flame for the rest of your dreams?
CHORUS:
D G
Would you love, could you love to be ordinary?
C G C
I know its hard but I can't see you trying,
D G
Would you love, could you love to be ordinary?
C G
Cause I can't see you trying now
And I see strangers at war, I see strangers at peace, Still I hang my head in confusion,
always been a choice that's been harder for me, And at the end of the day, knowing not
it means, Will you stand in the ashes, building a flame for the rest of your dreams?
you love, could you love to be ordinary? I know it's hard but I can't see you trying,
you love, could you love to be ordinary? No I can't see you trying now
G/D
There's nobody left to hear me,
G/D
I wish you could hear me now,
G/D
There's nobody left to call because you're not around,
D, C, Em, G, C, D, G,
G
CHORUS:
Would you love, could you love to be ordinary? I know it's hard but I can't see you
And would you love, could you love to be ordinary? I know it's hard but I Can't see you
When you die will you be surrounded by friends? Will they pray for a heaven out loud, a
that somehow they will see you again.
