Ordinary People

G Bm A G

[Chorus]
               G
If you wanna know something 'bout me
                      Bm
The blood in my veins is full of 
northern grit
                         A
I got that northern soul, man I got 
bags of it
                        G
We're far from ordinary people
                 G
And if you wanna know something 
'bout us
                         Bm
The hearts in our chest are full of 
northern love
                          A
And even when we're broke, we'll 
always have enough
                        G
We're far from ordinary people

[Verse 1]
G
 Alright how can I say this

I'm from a place where, no-one 
expects us to make it
Bm
 There was The Stone Roses and Oasis

But when they were big we were still
 babies
A
 I'm talking to the new generation

And we wasn't born in the 80s
G
 They say that we don't see many 
places

'Cause nobody left here for ages
G
 Serious love for the people that 
raised us

Even though it got crazy
Bm
 Poverty stricken but that never 
phased us

Not one of us lazy
A
 And I'll be the first to say money 
don't change us

Well it didn't change me
G
 I'll never forget where I came from
 - that's 'cause

It's the struggle that saved me
G
 On the streets we got brought up

And we'd play on the grass 'cause 
we're tryna be pro footballers
Bm
 They say there's no kings out here,
 nobody's got money, everyone of us 
paupers
A
I beg to differ... 'cause I see the 
bigger picture
G
 Every one of us kings

We could live on the street

And make it a castle

Fuck what they call us
G
They can keep throwing out orders

In fact bring cameras and record us
Bm
We've been fighting for survival

And you're gonna learn what war does
A
Why did they call it an army?

That's 'cause it's filled with 
soldiers
G
There's a war going on outside and 
it's life

You can keep the revolvers

[Chorus]
               G
If you wanna know something 'bout me
                Bm
The blood in my veins is full of 
northern grit
                         A
I got that northern soul, man I got 
bags of it
                        G
We're far from ordinary people
                 G
And if you wanna know something 
'bout us
                         Bm
The hearts in our chest are full of 
northern love
                          A
And even when we're broke, we'll 
always have enough
                        G
We're far from ordinary people

[Verse]
G
Okay, what did they expect?

They expect us to fail this test
Bm
They think 'cause we're broke and 
we're not blessed

Like we're gonna watch our parents 
stress
A
No chance...
And more time our parents are broken
                       G
 up anyway, there's no romance

And the car's been sold
And that's 'cause there's no keeping
               G
 up with their finance

What do they want us to do?
Skip down the road to the job centre
  Bm
 and just hold hands?

It's not easy out here, depression's
 a killer
                            A
Especially when you've got no plans

So much pain on a daily basis
Would you not grab the painkiller 
  G
with both hands?

It's a shame the painkiller's weed 
and liquor
                                G
Strong enough to wipe out the whole 
gang

If I'm being brutally honest
                                Bm
I don't condone it, but I understand
 the stealing and the violence

Yeah man run when they hear the 
sirens
   A
"No comment"

Leave the room in silence
That's the same boy who's mum got 
           G
treated bad in the job centre on 
Friday

Dad don't care so he lacks the 
guidance
         G
It's a shame that the streets are 
evil

But thats just where we grown up
Bm
 And not everything was legal

But that's where we learnt to be 
tough
A
 Most people grind to a halt

Like a car with no petrol or no 
diesel
G
But we keep it moving round here

'Cause we're far from ordinary 
people

[Chorus]
               G
If you wanna know something 'bout me
                      Bm
The blood in my veins is full of 
northern grit
                         A
I got that northern soul, man I got 
bags of it
                        G
We're far from ordinary people
                 G
And if you wanna know something 
'bout us
                         Bm
The hearts in our chest are full of 
northern love
                          A
And even when we're broke, we'll 
always have enough
                        G
We're far from ordinary people

[Bridge]
G
I see the raindrops falling again
Bm
We look up to greet the heavens
A
Who cares if we had harsh beginnings
G
We know congruence

[Chorus]
               G
If you wanna know something 'bout me
                Bm
The blood in my veins is full of 
northern grit
                         A
I got that northern soul, man I got 
bags of it
                        G
We're far from ordinary people
                 G
And if you wanna know something 
'bout us
                         Bm
The hearts in our chest are full of 
northern love
                          A
And even when we're broke, we'll 
always have enough
                        G
We're far from ordinary people
