Verse 1:
G
It started back in ‘88
G
Work and school
G                        C
Yet we lived to stay out late.
G
Cheap guitars and a rusted ride,
G                         G
Dreams so big we couldn’t hide

Pre-Chorus 1:
D
Time goes forever
D                  Em
And there’s never enough
Cm              G
It flies and it steals
G   D
Yet nothing could change
Em                 C
The way this heart feels

Chorus 1:
C               G        D
She was just my ordinary girl
D    Em             C
In a crazy reckless world.

No spotlight no diamonds, no pearls

Just my one and only

Ordinary girl

Verse 2:
G
We burned the nights
G
and chased the day
G
Dreams on fire
G           C
never fade away
G
Your laughter cut through the noise
G
The ordinary
G                             C
with just the right power and poise

Pre-Chorus 2:
D7
Life’s clock kept on running
D7
It never slowed down
D7       C
We fought for our dreams
C        G
In this nowhere town
G         D
The years tried to break us
Em                 C
Our love never let us drown

Chorus 2:
C               G        D
She was just my ordinary girl
D     Em            C
In a crazy reckless world
C   G                       D
No spotlight no diamonds no pearls
D               Em
Just my one and only
C          G    G  Em
