G C
Common cool, he was a proud young fool
G C
In a kick-ass Wal-Mart tie
G C
Ripping down the main drag

Tripping on the headlights rolling by
G C
In the early dawn when the cars were gone
G C
Did he hear the master's call

In the five-and-dime did he wake and find
Am G/B C D
He was only dreaming after all, 'cause

And we brook no wayward heart
C G C F B
And every highway leads you prodigal back home
Em C G D
To the ordinary sidewalks you were born to roam

So sang the sage of sixteen summers
D C
In the upstairs choir

So sang the old dog down the street

Beside his wailing wall

"Go home, go home", the mayor cried

You get to believing you're even-Steven
D C
With the kids at Fast-Track Prep
G C
So you dump your bucks on a velvet tux
G C
And you run and join the dance

But your holy shows and the Romans know
Am G/B C D
You're just a child of circumstance, 'cause

This is an ordinary town
Em
And the prophet has no face
Am D
This is an ordinary town

And the seasons run in place
C G C F B
And every highway leads you prodigal and true
Em C G D
To the ordinary angels watching over you
