Hi :] This is my first tab written. ever since i heard this song i wanted to play it,
but i searched everywhere and could not find anything. I think i have a good start to the
tabbing of the song though. some parts may be a little or a lot off, so i am hoping
someone of you could help me fix the missing pieces.
THIS SONG IS PLAYING WITH A CAPO ON THE 3RD FRET.
Gm
e|0
B|0
G|4
D|5
A|5
e|3
This chord is used during the chorus. I am not even sure if its called a Gm Or am i
really sure of that being the right sound during the part, but it works.

singing my life away
Pre-Chorus
G em F
I may never be a times square poster
G em F
and Ill never be on a popular magazine
G em F
I may never be an actor on the big screen
G em F
and I dont remember if I ever cared at all
Chorus
D em D
Im just an ordinary guy
A G
just getting by
em Gm
riding the tide trying to hide
D em D
Im just an ordinary face
A G
finding my place
em D
you wont remember my name
after I go away
Play until the next verse

Verse.
Everyone tells me Im a rare condition
and maybe that God has a different plan for me
I dont presume to know
the reasons a mystery
Pre-pre Chorus.
people always telling me that I am something special
well its too much pressure to take
the preacher always told me that Jesus might be watching me
throwing my life away.
Pre-chorus.
I may never be a perfect person
but Ill do my best to try to make you happy
and I will never meet your expectations
but I never cared at all
Chorus.
Im just an ordinary guy
just getting by
riding the tide trying to hide
Im just an ordinary face
finding my place
you wont remember my name
after I go away
