A            G     Bm      A           G    Bm
i fear that i'm ordinary just like anyone
to lie here and die among the sorrows
adrift among the days

D                              Bm                           E
for everything i ever said and everything i've ever done is gone
and dead

          D          Bm            A
and all things must surly have to end
and great loves will one day have to part
i know that i'm meant for this world

A            G         Bm          A                  G    Bm
my life has been extraordinary blessed and cursed and won
time heals but i'm forever by and by the way
D                                    Bm              E
have you ever heard the words i'm singing in these songs?

               D          Bm        A
it's for the girl i've loved all along
could a taste of love be so wrong

         D           Bm            A
as all things must surely have to end
and great loves will one day have to part
i know that i'm meant for this world

     A    G    Bm             A                G    Bm 
and in my mind i was floating far above the clouds
some children laughed i'd fall for certain
for thinking that i'd last forever
       G    Bm            A
but i knew exactly where i was
and i knew the meaning of it all
and i knew the distance to the sun 
and i knew the echo that is love
and i knew the secrets in your spires
and i knew the emptiness of youth
and i knew the solitude of heart
and i knew the murmurs of the soul
         D       Bm              A
and the world is drawn into your hands
and the world is etched upon your heart
and the world so hard to understand
       D        Bm         E
is the world you can't live without
       D           Bm           A
and i knew the silence of the world
