Chord/Tab song: Ordinary People

John Legend ~ "Ordinary People"

This is my first tab, but I'm pretty confident in it. A lot of these chords are very
(e.g., Bbmaj7 and Bbmaj9), you'll probably notice a distinctly more exact sound when you
them where I've indicated.

Feel free to send me any questions or comments. Thanks.

Intro:

------

[Bbmaj7] [Bb69] [Ebmaj9] [Fmaj7]
[Bbmaj7] [Bb69] [Ebmaj7] [Fmaj9]

Verse 1:

--------

[Bbmaj9]Girl I'm in love with y[Ebmaj9]ou, but this ain't the honey moon.

We're past the infatuation [Fadd2]phase.

[Bbmaj7]We're right in the thick of love.[Ebmaj9] At times we get sick of love.

It seems like we argue ever[Fmaj13]y day.

Prechorus:

----------

I know [Bbmaj7]I've misbehaved and you've[Ebmaj9] made your mistakes

and we've both still got room left to [Fmaj9]grow.

And though [Bbmaj7]love sometimes hurts, I [Ebmaj9]still put you first.

And we'll make this thing work but I [Fmaj9]think we should take it slow.

Chorus:

-------

[Bbmaj9]We're just ordinary peo[Ebmaj9]ple. We don't know which way to[Fmaj7] go.

[Bbmaj7]'cause we're ordina[Ebmaj7]ry people[Ebmaj9], maybe we should take it[Fmaj9] slow.

Take it [Bbmaj7]slow, oh[Ebmaj9] oh. This time we'll take it [Fmaj9]slow.

Take it [Bbmaj7]slow, oh[Ebmaj9] oh. This time we'll take it [Fmaj13]slow.

Verse 2:

--------

[Bbmaj9]This ain't a movie, naw. [Ebmaj9] No fairy tale conclusion, y'all.

It gets more confusing every[Fmaj7] day.

Oh, s[Bbmaj9]ometimes it's heaven sent, then w[Ebmaj9]e head back to hell again.

We kiss then we make up on the [Fmaj7]way.

Prechorus:

----------

I hang [Bbmaj7]up, you call. We rise and[Ebmaj9] we fall,

and we feel like just walking [Fmaj9]away.

But as [Bbmaj7]our love advances, we tak[Ebmaj9]e second chances.

Though it's not a fantasy, I[Fmaj9] still want you to stay.

Chorus:

-------

[Bbmaj9]We're just ordinary peo[Ebmaj9]ple. We don't know which way to[Fmaj7] go.

[Bbmaj7]'cause we're ordina[Ebmaj7]ry people[Ebmaj9], maybe we should take it[Fmaj9] slow.

Take it [Bbmaj7]slow, oh[Ebmaj9] oh. This time we'll take it [Fmaj9]slow.

Take it [Bbmaj7]slow, oh[Ebmaj9] oh. This time we'll take it [Fmaj9]slow.

Bridge:

-------

Take it s[Bbm7]low.

Maybe we'll live and learn. [C#/Eb]Maybe we'll crash and burn.

[Fmaj9]Maybe you'll stay; maybe you'll leave; maybe you'll return.

[Bbm7]Maybe another fight; [C#/Eb]maybe we won't survive;

[Fmaj9]But maybe we'll grow. We never know, baby, you and I.

Chorus:

-------

[Bbmaj9]We're just ordinary peo[Ebmaj9]ple. We don't know which way to[Fmaj7] go.

[Bbmaj7]'cause we're ordina[Ebmaj7]ry people[Ebmaj9], maybe we should take it[Fmaj9] slow.

Take it [Bbmaj7]slow, oh[Ebmaj9] oh. This time we'll take it [Fmaj9]slow.

Take it [Bbmaj7]slow, oh[Ebmaj9] oh. This time we'll take it [Fmaj9]slow.

Outro:

------

Take it[Bbmaj7] slow, o[Ebmaj9]h oh.

This time we'll take it [Fmaj9]slow.

Take it[Bbmaj7] slow, o[Ebmaj9]h oh.

This time we'll take it [Fmaj7]slow.

Take i[Bbmaj7]t slow, [Ebmaj7]slow. T[Ebmaj9]his time we'll take it [Fmaj7]slow.

Take it[Bbmaj7] slow, oh [Ebmaj7]oh. This time we'll take it [Fmaj13]slow.
