D Dmaj7 D7,

Verse 1:
[D] When by the phone, [Dmaj7]in vain you sit,
[D7] You very soon in your [Am7]mind,
Realize that [D9]it's not just,
An [Gm]ordinary pain,[C9] in your [Dmaj7]heart.[Em7]
Verse 2:
[D] When you by chance,
Go [Dmaj7]knock on her door,
[D7] Walkin' away you're con-[Am7]vinced,
That it's much [D9]more than just;
An [Gm]ordinary pain,[C9] in your [Dmaj7]heart.
[D7sus] It's [D7]more than [Bb7]just,
An [Gm]ordinary pain,[C9] in your [Dmaj7]heart.[D]
Chorus 1:
[Em7] Don't fool your-[D]self;
But [F#m]tell no one [Bm7]else.
That [D7sus]it's [D7]more than [Bb7]just,
An [Gm]ordinary pain[C9], in your [Dmaj7]heart.[D] [Dmaj7] [D7]
[D6] In [D+]your [D]heart,[Dmaj7] [D7]
[D6] In [D+]your [D]heart.
Verse 3:
[D] When you catch up,
But [Dmaj7]she says goodbye;
[D7] Hold back your tears,
And be-[Am7]fore you start to [D9]cry;
Say you feel un-[Gm]necessary pain,[C9]
In your [Dmaj]heart.[Em7]
Verse 4:
[D] Tell her you're glad,
It's [Dmaj7]over in fact;
[D7] Can she take with her,
The [Am7]pain she brought you [D9]back?
Brought you [D9]back?
Takin' that [Gm]ordinary pain,[C9]
From your [Dmaj7]heart.
[D7sus] It's [D7]more than [Bb7]just,
An [Gm]ordinary pain,[C9] in your [Dmaj7]heart.[D]
Chorus 2:
[Em7] Don't fool your-[D]self;
But [F#m]tell no one [Bm7]else.

[D6] In [D+]your [D]heart,[Dmaj7] [D7]
[D6] In [D+]your [D]heart.
Coda:
(Funk):
Dm7 G7 (x4)
You're just a masachistic [Dm7]fool,[G7]
[Dm7] Because you [G7]knew my love was [Dm7]cruel.[G7]
[Dm7] You never [G7]listened when they [Dm7]said;[G7]
[Dm7] Don't let that [G7]girl go to your [Dm7]head.[G7]
[Dm7] But like a [G7]play boy you said [Dm7]no,
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain),
[Dm7] This little [G7]girl's mind you will [Dm7]blow.
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain).
[Dm7] But then I [G7]blew you out the [Dm7]box,
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain),
[Dm7] When I put my [G7]stuff on key and [Dm7]lock.
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain).
[Dm7] It makes me [G7]feel kind of [Dm7]sick,
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain),
[Dm7] To know love [G7]put you in a [Dm7]trick.
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain).
[Dm7] I knew our [G7]love would have to [Dm7]end,
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain),
[Dm7] The day I [G7]made it with your [Dm7]friend.
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain).
[Dm7] Giving your [G7]love to one un-[Dm7]real,
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain),
[Dm7] Like a big [G7]fool I know you [Dm7]feel.
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain).
[Dm7] But in this [G7]lovey-dovey [Dm7]game,
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain),
[Dm7] With all its [G7]joy there must be [Dm7]pain.
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain).
[Dm7] But now the [G7]time has surely [Dm7]come,
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain),
[Dm7]T his game don't [G7]seem like so much [Dm7]fun.
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain).
[Dm7] You're cryin [G7]big crcodile [Dm7]tears,
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain),
[Dm7] Don't match the [G7]ones I've cried for [Dm7]years.
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain).
[Dm7] When I was [G7]home waiting for [Dm7]you,
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain),
[Dm7] You were out [G7]somewhere doing the [Dm7]do.
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain).
[Dm7] You know I'd [G7]really like to [Dm7]stay,
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain),
[Dm7] But like you [G7]did I've got to [Dm7]play.
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain).
[Dm7] You're dumb to [G7]think I'd let you [Dm7]be,
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain),
[Dm7] Scott free with-[G7]out some pain from [Dm7]me.
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain).
[Dm7] I heard your [G7]song and took a [Dm7]chance,
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain),
[Dm7] But to your [G7]music I can't [Dm7]dance.
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain).
[Dm7] Go tell your [G7]story 'sob-[Dm7]sad',
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain),
[Dm7] About you [G7]blowin' what you [Dm7]had.
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain).
[Dm7] Since one ain't [G7]good enough for [Dm7]you;
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain),
[Dm7] Then do your-[G7]self see how you [Dm7]do.
(Or-di-[G7]nary pain).
[Dm7] Or-di-[G7]nary [Dm7]pain, or-di-[G7]nary pain.
[Dm7] Or-di-[G7]nary [Dm7]pain, or-di-[G7]nary pain.
[Dm7] Or-di-[G7]nary [Dm7]pain, or-di-[G7]nary pain.
[Dm7] Or-di-[G7]nary [Dm7]pain, or-di-[G7]nary pain.
