Note:  This version is transposed -4 semitones from the original because I 
find this key easier to play in on piano.  Just set the transpose function 
above to 'up 4 half-steps' if you want the original key.


[Intro]
        



Came in from a

 rainy Thursda

y
           
on the avenue
            
Thought I hear

              
d you talking 

          
softly
    
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

y
         
Where is the l

             
ife that I rec

      
ognize?
           
Gone away


             
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

       
y world
           
I will learn t

         
o survive

"Pride will te

Well now pride

's gone out th

e window,
              
'cross the roo

         
ftops, runaway
            
Left me in the

Papers in the

Ooh, here besi

de the news
of holy war and holy need
ours is just a little sorrowed talk


             
But I won't cr

Every world is my world

Any world is my world
(I will learn to survive)
Any world is my world
Every world is my world
