John Legend ~ "Ordinary People" Tabbed by: Law&GuitarGuy 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. Bbmaj7: x13231 Bbmaj9: x10211 Bb69: x10011 Bbm7: x13121 C#/Eb: xx1121 Ebmaj7: xx1333 Ebmaj9: xx1331 Fmaj7: 1x2210 Fmaj9: xx3553 Fmaj13: 1x0210 Fadd2: xx3213 Intro: ------ Bbmaj7 Bb69 Ebmaj9 Fmaj7 Bbmaj7 Bb69 Ebmaj7 Fmaj9 Verse 1: -------- Bbmaj9 Ebmaj9 Girl I'm in love with you, but this ain't the honey moon. Fadd2 We're past the infatuation phase. Bbmaj7 Ebmaj9 We're right in the thick of love. At times we get sick of love. Fmaj13 It seems like we argue every day. Prechorus: ---------- Bbmaj7 Ebmaj9 I know I've misbehaved and you've made your mistakes Fmaj9 and we've both still got room left to grow. Bbmaj7 Ebmaj9 And though love sometimes hurts, I still put you first. Fmaj9 And we'll make this thing work but I think we should take it slow. Chorus: ------- Bbmaj9 Ebmaj9 Fmaj7 We're just ordinary people. We don't know which way to go. Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7 Ebmaj9 Fmaj9 'cause we're ordinary people, maybe we should take it slow. Bbmaj7 Ebmaj9 Fmaj9 Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow. Bbmaj7 Ebmaj9 Fmaj13 Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow. Verse 2: -------- Bbmaj9 Ebmaj9 This ain't a movie, naw. No fairy tale conclusion, y'all. Fmaj7 It gets more confusing every day. Bbmaj9 Ebmaj9 Oh, sometimes it's heaven sent, then we head back to hell again. Fmaj7 We kiss then we make up on the way. Prechorus: ---------- Bbmaj7 Ebmaj9 I hang up, you call. We rise and we fall, Fmaj9 and we feel like just walking away. Bbmaj7 Ebmaj9 But as our love advances, we take second chances. Fmaj9 Though it's not a fantasy, I still want you to stay. Chorus: ------- Bbmaj9 Ebmaj9 Fmaj7 We're just ordinary people. We don't know which way to go. Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7 Ebmaj9 Fmaj9 'cause we're ordinary people, maybe we should take it slow. Bbmaj7 Ebmaj9 Fmaj9 Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow. Bbmaj7 Ebmaj9 Fmaj9 Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow. Bridge: ------- Bbm7 Take it slow. C#/Eb Maybe we'll live and learn. Maybe we'll crash and burn. Fmaj9 Maybe you'll stay; maybe you'll leave; maybe you'll return. Bbm7 C#/Eb Maybe another fight; maybe we won't survive; Fmaj9 But maybe we'll grow. We never know, baby, you and I. Chorus: ------- Bbmaj9 Ebmaj9 Fmaj7 We're just ordinary people. We don't know which way to go. Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7 Ebmaj9 Fmaj9 'cause we're ordinary people, maybe we should take it slow. Bbmaj7 Ebmaj9 Fmaj9 Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow. Bbmaj7 Ebmaj9 Fmaj9 Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow. Outro: ------ Bbmaj7 Ebmaj9 Take it slow, oh oh. Fmaj9 This time we'll take it slow. Bbmaj7 Ebmaj9 Take it slow, oh oh.
