C#m                            E          F#
Came in from a rainy Thursday  On the avenue
C#m                          E   F#
Thought I heard you talking softly
C#m                            E         F#
I turned on the lights, the TV And the Radio
C#m                         E     F#
Still Ican't escape the ghost of you
C#m                          G#m   G#m9
What has happened to it all? Crazy, some'd say
Eb7                          E
Where is the life that I recognize?

Gone away

  B                   F#m
But I won't cry for yesterday
F#m                   D7+
There's an ordinary world
       A/C#         E
Somehow I have to find
  B                  F#m
And as I try to make my way
           D7+                A/C#          E
To the ordinary world I will learn to survive

Solo: C#m  E  F#

C#m                     E                   F#
Passion or coincidence Once prompted you to say
C#m                     E   F#
"Pride will tear us both apart"
C#m
 Well now pride's gone out the window cross the

E         F#
Rooftops run away
C#m                         E  F#
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
C#m
What happening to me?
G#m
Crazy, some'd say
Eb7                              E
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

(Solo)

(Chorus)

C#m
Papers in the roadside
         E                 F#
Tell of suffering and greed
C#m                     E    F#
Feared today, forgot tomorrow
C#m
Ooh, here besides the news
         E               F#
Of holy war and holy need
C#m                              E   F#
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

(B  F#m  A  E)
Every world is my world
