Intro
E-F#-G#m-AC#mB
I nearly died I suicided softly
C#m
I saw her shadow through the cafe window
G#mF#E
I watched you lean across the table
G#mF#EF#
I watched you whisper in her ear
Chorus
BG#mF#
And she is your holy Mary
EC#m
And I am so ordinary
D#mE
And you can use me if you want to
C#mF#
I know you need me just like an old soft shoe
C#mB
She looks like me but a bit prettier
C#m
She's a skater and a ballet dancer
G#mF#E
I saw her on your motorcycle
G#mF#EF#
In the seat I thought was meant for me
Chorus
BG#mF#
And she is your holy Mary
EC#m
And I am so ordinary
D#mE
And you can use me if you want to
C#mF#
I know you need me just like an old soft shoe
BG#mF#E
And I am so or?dinary
C#mB
And when your mother came to Boston you disappeared
C#m
And then I saw you three together
G#mF#E
I guess she makes the best impression
G#mF#EF#
With her charming femininity
Chorus
BG#mF#
And she is your holy Mary
EC#m
And I am so ordinary
D#mE
And you can use me if you want to
C#mF#
I know you need me just like an old soft shoe
BG#mF#E
And I am so or?dinary
BG#mF#
And I am so ordinary
Bridge
EF#G#mF#
Oh but I am the one you will call when alone
EF#G#mA
And I am the one who will give when she's gone
G#m-F#-E
And so I give
E-C#m
So I give
C#mB
I tell myself that love is truly giving
C#m
Somehow I justify this
G#mF#E
Hoping you will understand me
G#mF#EF#
Hoping you will love me back
Last Chorus
BG#mF#
And she is your holy Mary
EB
And I am so ordinary
G#mF#
And she is your Queen Cleopatra
EB
And I'm just your morning after
G#mF#
And she is your Star Spangled Banner
E
And I am just Frere Jacques?
EC#m
And you can lose me if you?want to
Coda
BG#mF#E
And I am so or?dinary
