[Intro] B F#m D7M A/C# C6
[Primeira Parte]
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 I can't escape the ghost of you
C#m7 G#m G#m9
What has happened to it all? Crazy, some'd say
D#7 E
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away
[Refrão]
B F#m
But I won't cry for yesterday
D7M
There's an ordinary world
A/C# E
Somehow I have to find
B F#m
And as I try to make my way
D7M A/C# F#m7(5-)
To the ordinary world I will learn to survive

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

What happening to me?

Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

C#m
Papers in the roadside
E F#
Tell of suffering and greed
C#m E F#
Feared today, forgot tomorrow

Ooh, here besides the news

Of holy war and holy need

Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
