              Intro: B  B/A#  B/G#  E 
 
verse 1 
B  B/A#  B/G# 
I don't wanna be no star 
B  B/A#  B/G# 
Have fame on the Boulevard 
B  B/A#  B/G#   E        B  B/A#  B/G# 
No that's not what I'm looking for 
B  B/A#  B/G# 
I don't need shiny things 
B  B/A#  B/G# 
Or love from a movie screen 
B  B/A#  B/G#    E       B  B/A#  B/G# 
But I tell you what I really want 
 
 
B    F#      G#m          E 
Oh oh, oh oh gimme an ordinary love 
B       F#            G#m 
That I touch, that I hold 
           E 
Gimme an ordinary love ooh 
 
verse 2 
B  B/A#  B/G# 
I don't live in the hills 
B  B/A#  B/G# 
And I probably never will 
B  B/A#  B/G#      E      B  B/A#  B/G# 
No but that won't keep me up at night 
B  B/A#  B/G# 
'Cause she's dancing like a fool 
B  B/A#  B/G# 
Across my living room 
B  B/A#  B/G#  E 
Whenever         I'm with you 
B  B/A#  B/G# 
My heart is singing 
 
 
B    F#      G#m          E 
Oh oh, oh oh gimme an ordinary love 
B       F#            G#m 
That I touch, that I hold 
           E 
Gimme an ordinary love ooh 
 
Bridge 
C#m 
Keep those fancy things 
               G#m 
Keep your magazines 
              F# 
I don't even want what I'm chasing 
C#m             B/D#        E      F# 
Because all I know isn't ordinary love is what we're made for 
 
 
B    F#      G#m          E 
Oh oh, oh oh gimme an ordinary love 
B       F#            G#m 
That I touch, that I hold 
           E 
Gimme an ordinary love ooh 
B    F#      G#m          E 
Oh oh, oh oh gimme an ordinary love 
B       F#            G#m 
That I touch, that I hold 
           E          B  B/A#  B/G# 
Gimme an ordinary love ooh 
           E          B  B/A#  B/G# 
Gimme an ordinary love ooh 
                  E           B  B/A#  B/G# 
(Yeah) gimme an ordinary love
