Ordinary Day

"Ordinary Day"

I've got a smile on my face, I've got four walls around me
The sun in the sky, the water surrounds me
I'll win now but sometimes I'll lose
I've been battered, but I'll never bruise, it's not so bad

[Chorus:]
And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day
and it's all your state of mind
At the end of the day, you've just got to say,
it's all right.

Janie sings on the corner, what keeps her from dying?
Let them say what they want, she won't stop trying
She might stumble, if they push her 'round
She might fall, but she'll never lie down

[Chorus]

In this beautiful life, but there's always some sorrow
It's a double-edged knife, but there's always tomorrow
It's up to you now if you sink or swim,
Keep the faith and your ship will come in.
It's not so bad

And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day
And it's all your state of mind
At the end of the day, you've just got to say
I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day
And it's all your state of mind
At the end of the day, you've just got to say
it's alright

'Cause it's alright, it's alright
'Cause I've got a smile on my face and I've got four walls around me

Is Somebody Singing

Is Somebody Singing

Ed Robertson and Chris Hatfield

[Intro]

Em, D, Am, C, D

[Verse 1]

Em   D               Am

  On solid fuel and wires,

         C       D          Em

Turn the key and light the fire,

       D                Am   C   D

We're leaving Earth today.

[Verse 2]

Em      D              Am

This rocket's burning bright,

        C       D       Em

We'll soon be out of sight,

        D          Am   C  D

And orbiting in Space.

[Pre-Chorus]

D                 Am   

Pushed back in my seat,

            G    

Look out my window,

D          C

There goes home.

D                  Am

That ball of shiny blue,

       G         D         C        

Houses everybody anybody ever knew.

[Chorus]

               G          D

So  sing your song, I'm listening,

Am                     C

Out where stars are glistening,

      Em               D                 C 

I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.

(C)            G       D

 If you could see our nation,

         Am         C            D

From the International Space Station,

Em               D                C 

You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).

[Verse 3]

Em        D                  Am

Eighteen thousand miles an hour,

            C          D      Em

Fueled by science and solar power,

     D              Am   C D

The ocean's racing past.

[Verse 4]

Em    D            Am

At half a thousand tons,

          C       D      Em 

Ninety minutes, Moon to Sun,

   D               C        D

A bullet can't go half as fast.

[Pre-Chorus]

D                 Am

Floating from my seat,

              G

Look out my window,

D            C

There goes home (There goes home).

D                       Am

That brilliant ball of blue,

     G                 D              C       

Is where I'm from and also where I'm going to.

[Chorus]

               G          D

So  sing your song, I'm listening,

Am                     C

Out where stars are glistening,

      Em               D                C 

I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.

(C)            G       D

 If you could see our nation,

         Am         C            D

From the International Space Station,

Em               D                C 

You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).

[Bridge]

A              E                   D

All black and white just fades to gray,

          A           E              D

Where the Sun rises sixteen times a day (Day),

A              E                   D

You can't make out borders from up here,

           A           E              D

Just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere (Atmosphere).

[Pre-Chorus]

D                  Am

Pushed back in my seat,

               G

Look out my window,

D            C

Here comes home (Home).

D                         Am

What once was fueled by fear,

           G             D             C         

Now has fifteen nations orbiting together here.

[Chorus]

                G          D

So  sing your song, I'm listening,

Am                     C

Out where stars are glistening,

      Em               D                 C 

I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.

(C)            G       D

 If you could see our nation,

         Am         C            D

From the International Space Station,

Em               D                C 

You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).

 [Outro]

You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),

You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),

You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),

You'd know why I want to get back soon.
