CAPO 3
DToday I took a walk in the clouds, Dtoday I took a walk in the clouds
Used to keep my Bmeyes wide shut, but nGow I'm staring dDown
DToday I felt a switch in my vein, tDoday I felt a switch in my vein
GUsed to be a sBmhadow now a sGhadow scream my Dname
GAnd in the dayBmlight I could sGwear, we're the same

But I'm just an ordinary human, ordinary ways
I'm just an ordinary Bmhuman but I don't fGeel so ordinary tDoday
