[Intro] G C G C [Verse 1]
 G
Live a life less ordinary

                                 C
Live a life extraordinary with me

 G
Live 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
[Chorus]
      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

 G
Live a life less ordinary

                                 C
Live 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'm fallin' apart since the ambush on your heart
[Chorus]
      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 but
[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 won't 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 3]
 G
Live a life less ordinary

                                 C
Live 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 soul

     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
[Chorus]
      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

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
