I turned on th

e lights, the 

TV
           
and the radio

 
           
still I can't 

              
escape the gho

            
st of you

What is happen

ed to it all?

Crazy, some sa

ife that I rec

ognise?

gone away


[Chorus]
             
But I won't cr

And as I try t

[Verse]

Passion or coi

ncidence
             
Once prompted 

        
you to say

"Pride will te

ar us both apa

rt"
       
         Well 

 
now

pride's gone o

ut the window
             
Cross the roof

        
tops, run away

Left me in the

 vacuum of my
     
heart


[Bridge]

What is happen

ing to me?

Crazy, some'd 

say
           
Where is my fr

             
iend when I ne

ed you most?
Gone away


[Chorus]
             
But I won't cr

            
y for yesterda


y
              
there's an ord

        
inary world
          
somehow I have

        
 to find
             
And as I try t

           
o make my way
              
to the ordinar

[Solo]
                     
             
                     
             


[Verse]

Papers in the 

roadside
             
Tell of suffer

         
ing and greed

Fear today, fo

rgot tomorrow
   
         Ooh

Here besides t

he news of 
             
holy war and h

                
oly need

Ours is just a

 little sorrow

ed
    
talk

[Chorus]
             
And I won't cr

            
y for yesterda


y
              
there's an ord

        
inary world
          
somehow I have

        
 to find
             
And as I try t

           
o make my way
              
to the ordinar

    
y world
          
I will learn t

       
o survive


(Repeat Chorus pattern to fade)
Every one
Is my world, (I will learn to survive)
Any one
Is my world, (I will learn to survive)
Any one
Is my world
Every one
Is my world


The chord patterns are similar throughout. However, that F#m7b5/C returns again at the end of the 
guitar theme in the middle of the song. Otherwise it is replaced by an Esus2 as in
the first half of the intro.
