Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights the TV and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all?
Crazy some'd say
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away...
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world. somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world I will learn to survive
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
Pride will tear us both apart
Well now pride's gone out the window cross the rooftops, run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me?
Crazy some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away...
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world. somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world I will learn to survive
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Ohh...here beside the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world. somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world I will learn to survive
Every world is my world - I will learn to survive
Any world is my world - I will learn to survive
Any world is my world

This is a lot easier than the other versions; I would say keep the C on "somehow I have to find" on each chorus, but "learn to survive" can still end on a G.
Also, Dm7 sounds fine on a guitar, but on a soprano uke I find it too bright - Dm works better (IMHO). Still, this is so much easier, and my quibbles are relatively minor.

Dm7 could be a just a Dm for beginners.. but a good simple addition for a nice song.

About this song: Ordinary World
"Ordinary World" is the first single from Duran Duran's self-titled 1993 album, better known as The Wedding Album. The song peaked at No. 3 in the American charts and No. 6 in the British charts. By the early 90s, Duran Duran's popularity had faded. Their album Liberty had proved a commercial failure, its two singles failing to make a significant showing on British or American charts. It wasn't until Capitol leaked "Ordinary World" to a radio station in Florida in the autumn of 1992 that it looked like Duran Duran mania might yet hit again.
