 Bb7M 
Girl I' m in love with you
 Eb7M 
This ain' t the honeymoon
 Eb7M                F7M 
Past the infatuation phase.
 Bb7M 
Right in the thick of love
 Eb7M 
At times we get sick of love
 Eb7M                         F7M 
It seems like we argue every day.

            F7M 
I know I misbehave and you made your mistakes and we both still got room left to grow.
                   Eb7M 
And though love sometimes hurt, I still put you first and we' ll make this thing work but I
   F7M 
 think we should take it slow.

 Bb7M                Eb7M 
We' re Just Ordinary People
 Eb7M                 F7M 
We don' t know which way 2 go
 Bb7M                Eb7M 
Cause we' re Ordinary People
 Eb7M                 F7M 
maybe we should take it slow.
      Bb7M         Eb7M 
Take it slow-oh oh-oh-oh
 Eb7M                 F7M 
This time we' ll take it slow
      Bb7M         Eb7M 
Take it slow-oh oh-oh-oh
 Eb7M                 F7M 
This time we' ll take it slow

 Bb7M 
This ain' t a movie naw
 Eb7M 
No fairy tale conclusion ya' ll
 Eb7M                F7M 
It gets more confusing every day.
 Bb7M 
Sometimes it' s heaven sent
 Eb7M 
Then we, head back to hell again
 Eb7M                F7M 
We kiss, then we make up all the way.
 Bb7M 
I hang up, you call
 Eb7M 
We rise and we fall
 Eb7M                F7M 
And we feel like just like walking away.
 Bb7M 
As our love advances
 Eb7M 
We take second chances
 Eb7M                F7M 
Though it' s not a fantasy
 Eb7M                F7M 
I still want you to stay...

 Bb7M                Eb7M 
We' re Just Ordinary People
 Eb7M                 F7M 
We don' t know which way 2 go
 Bb7M                Eb7M 
Cause we' re Ordinary People
 Eb7M                 F7M 
maybe we should take it slow.
      Bb7M         Eb7M 
Take it slow-oh oh-oh-oh
 Eb7M                 F7M 
This time we' ll take it slow
      Bb7M         Eb7M 
Take it slow-oh oh-oh-oh
 Eb7M                 F7M 
This time we' ll take it slow

 Bbm                        Ebm 
Maybe we' ll live and learn, maybe we' ll crash and burn
 F7M 
Maybe you' ll stay, maybe you' ll leave, maybe you' ll return
 Bbm                  Ebm 
Maybe another fight, maybe we won' t survive
 F7M 
Maybe we' ll grow, we never know, baby you and I

 Bb7M                Eb7M
