ORDINARY - You Am I
DmWe're D2so Gordinary
CCan't seem to Bmbreak the Amhold
DmOf every clown D2that's Gcome before us
And every Cstory that's Bmyet to be Amtold
DmAnd even though D2the Gpaint's not dry yet
There's someCone with their Bmtongue hanging Amout
Dm'Cause something sour D2don't Gtaste so bad
When you can Cmuzzle someBmone needs to Amshout
FAnd everyone who's Ewatching now
At the Ammovie that's Galways Frerun
Can throw a laugh and a Estick in the paint
We're overAmrated or Gloud or we're Fyoung
And anyone who's Elooking out
Just Amwaiting for Gtall guys to Ffall
Can rest assured in Eblankets now
That noAmbody can Gbe that Fsmall
DmBring him 'round D2the Gcourthouse now
We're lying Cnaked and Bmugly and Amcold
DmDon't play around D2the Gedges
Play me Csomething that's Bmdusted and Amold
DmAnd when we're lD2ying Gcrying defenceless
To be Csure that you Bmget in a Amlay
Dm'Cause something sour D2don't Gtaste so bad
Now be Cforgetting Bmyou everyAmday
FAnd everyone who's Ewatching now
At the Ammovie that's Galways Frerun
Can throw a laugh and a Estick in the paint
We're overAmrated or Gloud or we're Fyoung
And anyone who's Elooking out
Just Amwaiting for Gtall guys to Ffall
Can rest assured in Eblankets now
That noAmbody can Gbe that Fsmall
AmNobody can Gbe that Fsmall
AmNobody can Gbe that Fsmall
AmNobody can Gbe that Fsmall
Am         G       F

ORDINARY - You Am I

Dm D2 G

We're so ordinary

C Bm Am

Can't seem to break the hold

Dm D2 G

Of every clown that's come before us

C Bm Am

And every story that's yet to be told

Dm D2 G

And even though the paint's not dry yet

C Bm Am

There's someone with their tongue hanging out

Dm D2 G

'Cause something sour don't taste so bad

C Bm Am

When you can muzzle someone needs to shout

F E

And everyone who's watching now

Am G F

At the movie that's always rerun

Can throw a laugh and a stick in the paint

Am G F

We're overrated or loud or we're young

And anyone who's looking out

Am G F

Just waiting for tall guys to fall

Can rest assured in blankets now

Am G F

That nobody can be that small

Dm D2 G

Bring him 'round the courthouse now

C Bm Am

We're lying naked and ugly and cold

Dm D2 G

Don't play around the edges

C Bm Am

Play me something that's dusted and old

Dm D2 G

And when we're lying crying defenceless

C Bm Am

To be sure that you get in a lay

Dm D2 G

'Cause something sour don't taste so bad

C Bm Am

Now be forgetting you everyday

F E

And everyone who's watching now

Am G F

At the movie that's always rerun

Can throw a laugh and a stick in the paint

Am G F

We're overrated or loud or we're young

And anyone who's looking out

Am G F

Just waiting for tall guys to fall

Can rest assured in blankets now

Am G F

That nobody can be that small

Am G F

Nobody can be that small

Am G F

Nobody can be that small

Am G F

Nobody can be that small
