Ordinary People

Standard tuning
No capo
[Verse]
G Cadd9
It don’t matter that I know just how you like your morning coffee
G D/F# D
It don’t matter that I know which way you lay your head at night
G Cadd9
It don’t matter that the whole damn world is sometimes out to get me
G D/F# G
It’s just be nice to spend an evening here with someone that I like
G Cadd9
I spent so much time stuck in between what I got what I need
G D/F# D
I know you know just what I mean you do the same thing too
G Cadd9
Then off you go all by yourself sit and sulk and sometimes melt
G D/F# G
Into the hand that you’ve been dealt there’s nothing else to do
[Chorus]
D Cadd9
Meet me in the parking lot just off the highway
G D
There’s a spot where I will be waiting for you
D/F# Cadd9
Maybe we could find somewhere to sit and talk
G D
And clear the air like ordinary people do
Em7 Em7 D/F# D/F# G G
Do do do
[Verse]
G Cadd9
Well there’s something mighty strange about the way that people run around
G D/F# D
Search and scrounge until they found something they can’t hold dear
G Cadd9
Cause then they finally realize it was right before their eyes
G D/F# G
They let it drain until it dried and then it disappeared
[Chorus]
D Cadd9
Meet me in the parking lot just off the highway
G D
There’s a spot where I will be waiting for you
D/F# Cadd9
Maybe we could find somewhere to sit and talk
G D
And clear the air like ordinary people do
Em7 Em7 D/F# D/F# G G
Do do do
[Interlude] (chorus notes):
D Cadd9 G D D/F# Cadd9 G D
G Cadd9
It don’t matter that I notice how you always seem half empty
G D/F# D
And it don’t matter how I know that you get lonely late at night
G Cadd9
And that I always think of you and hope you don’t forget me
G D/F# G
Cause it’s nice to spend time now and then with someone that I like
D/F# Cadd9 G
Cause it’s nice to spend time now and then with someone that I like
