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.

Bbmaj9 (x10211@1)               Ebmaj9Girl (xx1031@1)I'm in love with you, but this ain't the honey moon.

                           Fadd2
We're past the infatuation phase.


Bbmaj7 (x13231@1)                         Ebmaj9We're (xx1031@1)right in the thick of love.  At times we get sick of love.

                           Fmaj13
It seems like we argue every day.

       Bbmaj7 (x13231@1)                  Ebmaj9I (xx1031@1)know I've misbehaved and you've made your mistakes

                                      Fmaj9and (103010@1)we've both still got room left to grow.

           Bbmaj7 (x13231@1)                Ebmaj9And (xx1031@1)though love sometimes hurts, I still put you first.

                                     Fmaj9And (103010@1)we'll make this thing work but I think we should take it slow.

-------

        Bbmaj7 (x13231@1)Ebmaj9 (xx1031@1)                      Fmaj13

Verse 2:
--------
Bbmaj9 (x10211@1)                 Ebmaj9This (xx1031@1)ain't a movie, naw.  No fairy tale conclusion, y'all.

                            Fmaj7It (1x3210@1)gets more confusing every day.

     Bbmaj9 (x10211@1)                         Ebmaj9Oh, (xx1031@1)sometimes it's heaven sent, then we head back to hell again.

                               Fmaj7We (1x3210@1)kiss then we make up on the way.


Prechorus:
----------
       Bbmaj7 (x13231@1)                  Ebmaj9I (xx1031@1)hang up, you call.  We rise and we fall,

                              Fmaj9and (103010@1)we feel like just walking away.

       Bbmaj7 (x13231@1)                 Ebmaj9But (xx1031@1)as our love advances, we take second chances.

                            Fmaj9Though (103010@1)it's not a fantasy, I still want you to stay.

-------
         Bbm7Take (x13121@1)it slow.

                             Db/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 (x13121@1)               Db/Eb
Maybe another fight; maybe we won't survive;

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