D F#m Am G


[Verse 1]
D                         F#m
People, we're ordinary people
                     Am
We're taken for granted
                      G
No one hears what we say
     D                   F#m
Just people, ordinary people
                     Am
Stand up and be counted
          G
In every way


[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bm                    A
If we have a little faith
  E                G
Believe, there's a future
       D                      F#m
For us people, we ordinary people
                  Am
It's time to remember
                    G
We all need some respect


[Chorus]
D                        A
Have we forgotten who we are?
                            Em
And what we're doing here?
Em                               G
You know a change is gonna come
G                 D
If we persevere
D                         A
We need strength in our hearts
                     Em
We need wisdom and light
Em
So if it's ever gonna work
 G     A    D
Let it be tonight


[Verse 2]
      D                   F#m
We're people, ordinary people
                     Am
And it's hard to imagine
                    G
How we've fallen so far
     D                   F#m
Just people, ordinary people
                    Am
And if we stand together
                 G
We won't fall at all


[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bm            A
So it's up to us
   E             G
Be there for one another
           D                   F#m
That's why people, ordinary people
                  Am
It's time to remember
                    G
We all need some respect


[Chorus]
D                        A
Have we forgotten who we are?
                            Em
And what we're doing here?
Em                               G
You know a change is gonna come
G                 D
If we persevere
D                         A
We need strength in our hearts
                     Em
We need wisdom and light
Em
So if it's ever gonna work
 G     A    D
Let it be tonight


[Bridge]
Bm                                A 
And when we think we've made some peace in our time
Em                       G               Bm
When we know we've taken time for reflection
Bm                        A
When we see the cards are dealt true and kind
                 Em
We'll know we're not so blind,
Em
We'll know we're not so blind
           G         A
We're just ordinary, ordinary


[Outro]
D                   A
People, ordinary people
   Em               G
People, ordinary people
D                   A
People, ordinary people
   Em               G
People, ordinary people
G      A    D
Let it be tonight
G      A    Bm
Let it be tonight
