verse 1 
 G 
Live a life less ordinary 
                                 C 
Life a life extraordinary with me 
 G 
Life a life less sedentary 
                                C 
Live a life evolutionary with me 
          G 
Well I hate to be a bother 
                                             C 
But it's you and there's no other I do believe 

You can call me naive but 
     G 
I know me very well at least as far as I can tell 
                    C 
And I know what I need 


      D 
The night you came into my life 
          C 
Well it took the bones of me took the bones of me 
      D 
You blew away my storm and strife 
      C 
And shook the bones of me shook the bones of me 
 D             C               D 
By the way I do know why you stayed away 
         Am   Em     C    D 
I will keep tongue tied next time 

verse 2 
 G 
Live a life less ordinary 
                                 C 
Life a life extraordinary with me 
     G 
My face had said too much before our hands could even touch 
                 C 
To greet a hello so much for going slow 
    G 
A little later on that year I told you that I loved you dear 
  C 
What do you know this you weren't prepared to hear 
        G 
I'm a saddened man I'm a broken boy I'm a toddler with a complex toy 
        C 
I've fallen apart since the ambush of your heart 

Bridge 

  Em                Em          C 
Honey understand honey understand 
  Am       Em    C 
I won't make demands 
  Em                Em          C 
Honey understand honey understand 
   Am       C       Em      D 
We could walk without a plan 
  Em                        Em          C 
Honey understand honey honey understand 
  Am      Em      C 
I wont rest in stone all alone 
  Em                Em          C 
Honey understand honey understand 
   Am      Em      D 
I'm all ready to go but you already know 

verse 2 
 G 
Live a life less ordinary 
                                 C 
Life a life extraordinary with me 

     G 
If I could name you in this song would it make you smile and sing along 
  C 
This is the goal to get into your sould 
     G 
If I could make you dance for joy could that be the second chance decoy 
      C 
The bird-in-hand I would need to help you understand
