Ordinary Day Chords by Vanessa Carlton

[Start]

[Verse]
       F           G            F
Just a day just an ordinary day ■
     F               
Just tryin' to get by
       C                           
Just a boy just an ordinary boy but
       C                     
He was looking to the sky and
   F             Am         C    
As he asked if I would come along
  F          C       Am      F                           Am              
I started to realize ■  that everyday he finds just what he's lookin' for
       F                G             Em  
Like a shooting star he shines and he said


[Chorus]
F    G  F                      
Take my hand live while you can
                          Am  Em       F   G            C   
Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
F C F G
■ ■ ■ ■


[Verse]
C         F                       G     F
And as he spoke he spoke ordinary words ■
       F                
Though they did not feel
                          C          
For I felt what I had not felt before
          F                       Am      
And you'd swear those words could heal and


[Chorus]
   F           Am                  F                  
As I looked up into those eyes his vision borrows mine
      G                    
And I know he's no stranger
Am    Em                 F                   G      
For I feel I've held him for all of time and he said
F    G  F                   G   Am
Take my hand live while you can ■ 
      F                   Am7              F    Gsus4   Am7 
Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand

Please come ■ ■ ■ ■ with me see what I see
      G         C        D    Bm  C   
Touch the stars for time will not flee
G             C          G   C  
Time will not flee can't you see


[Verse]
       F                      C    
Just a dream just an ordinary dream
   F Gsus4   F  
As I wake in bed
         Gsus4             F   C
And that boy that ordinary boy ■
    F      Gsus4 G    F
Was it all in my head ■


[Chorus]
                   Am              
Didn't he ask if I would come along
   F          C  Am          F           G       
It all seemed so real but as I looked to the door
      Am                F     G                      
I saw that boy standing there with a deal and he said
F    G  F                   Am  C
Take my hand live while you can ■
      F                   Am           F   G            Am  
Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
       F            Am  
In the palm of your hand

       C                       
Just a day just an ordinary day
     C               
Just tryin' to get by
           Csus4   C        F   C  
Just a boy just an ordinary boy but
       F       C      Dsus4 G C
He was looking to the sky   ■ ■
