Ordinary Man

[INTRO:] C  G  Am    G  ~ ~ ~ C

[VERSE 1:]
G           Am       D
Try to understand
                      F            
I'm not your ordinary man, still I 
C       F
can't deny
       D7/F#
You go with me everywhere
         F                  D7/F# 
When I'm dreaming you still share 
          C  G     C  G  C
my lonely nights


[VERSE 2:]
G             Am      D
Try to see my side
                       F         
It's not your ordinary pride that 
       C          F
keeps driving me on
          D7/F#                    
It's that lonesome, restless 
           F
feeling that you feel under the gun
       C                           
And it leads me to the highway, but
    D7                   G        ~
 it keeps my body warm
 ~ Am



[CHORUS:]
         D7            G          
And as I wander to the cities and 
    Am
the towns

                          G        
I get so lonesome knowing you could
     C
 be around
    Am               D7           
And when the show is over, there's
   G         Am
 a Holiday Motel
              F           E    
Another empty bottle and another 
                  E7  ~ ~ C
tale to tell


[VERSE 3:]
G            Am      D
Try to comprehend
                      F            
I'm not your ordinary friend at the
 C         F
 end of my life
        D7/F#
I would pray that I could be
  F              D7/F#           
Returning to the shelter of your 
C   G    C  G  C
love__


[VERSE 4:]
G             Am      D
Try to see my side
                       F         
It's not your ordinary pride that 
       C          F
keeps driving me on
          D7/F#                    
It's that lonesome, restless 
           F
feeling that you feel under the gun
       C                           
And it leads me to the highway, but
    D7                   G       ~ ~
 it keeps my body warm
 Am

can't deny
       D7/F#                      
You go with me everywhere, like a 
F
shadow in the gloom
    C                         
I remember all the good times, 
           D7
there's a ghost in every room
