Alex Warren - Ordinary
7clouds
They say, "The holy water's watered down
And this town's lost its faith
Our colors will fade eventually"
So if our time is runnin' out
Day after day
We'll make the mundane our masterpiece
Oh my, my
Oh my, my love
I take one look at you
You're takin' me out of the ordinary
I want you layin' me down 'til we're dead and buried
On the edge of your knife, stayin' drunk on your vine
The angels up in the clouds are jealous, knowin' we found
Somethin' so out of the ordinary
You got me kissin' the ground of your sanctuary
Shatter me with your touch, oh Lord, return me to dust
The angels up in the clouds are jealous, knowin' we found
Hopeless hallelujah
On this side of Heaven's gate
Oh, my life, how do ya
Breathe and take my breath away?
At your altar, I will pray
You're the sculptor, I'm the clay
Oh my, my
You're takin' me out of the ordinary
I want you layin' me down 'til we're dead and buried
On the edge of your knife, stayin' drunk on your vine
The angels up in the clouds are jealous, knowin' we found
Somethin' so out (out) of the ordinary (ordinary)
You got me kissin' the ground (ground) of your sanctuary (sanctuary)
Shatter me with your touch, oh Lord, return me to dust
The angels up in the clouds are jealous, knowin' we found
Somethin' so heavenly, higher than ecstasy
Whenever you're next to me, oh my, my
World was in black and white until I saw your light
I thought you had to die to find
Somethin' so out of the ordinary
I want you layin' me down 'til we're dead and buried
On the edge of your knife, stayin' drunk on your vine
The angels up in the clouds are jealous, knowin' we found
Somethin' so out (out) of the ordinary
You got me kissin' the ground (ground) of your sanctuary (sanctuary)
Shatter me with your touch, oh Lord, return me to dust
The angels up in the clouds are jealous, knowin' we found

How to play Alex Warren - Ordinary by 7clouds on guitar
This song is a great beginner pick because it sits in a comfortable tempo and gives you a clean, steady progression to lock into. It feels direct and musical, so you can focus on smooth changes and confidence instead of speed.
You can keep most of it in open shapes with G, Em, D, and E, which makes it easier on the fretting hand. The main thing to watch is the move into E after D, since that shift can feel a little less natural at first. If your chart brings in B, Cm, or Bm later, those barre shapes will ask for more hand pressure and accuracy.
Start by looping G - Em - D - E slowly until the changes feel relaxed. Then practice the hardest switch on its own, and only after that play through the full progression at a steady pulse. When it feels stable, bring the tempo up little by little until it matches the song.
Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
