The song sounds best when played almost entirely with bar chords, the only exception
the Dm found in each verse.
The rhythm is rather simple, the bass notes of each chord generally fall on beats 1 and
while the chords are played on beats 2 and 4. Some minor syncopation sounds excellent as well.

Verse 1:
Well it's another warm day
in the city of cold hearts.
They all just play the part of who they are.
And I'm here on my own.
I'd rather be alone
than try to be someone that I'm not.
Chorus:
And you seem like someone
who could appreciate the fact
that I'm no ordinary man.

Verse 2:
And it's misunderstood
what you've heard about me.
I see why you would doubt me, but know this
No one has a right
until they've fought my fight
to understand just where I'm coming from.
Chorus:
And it's that fight that brought me here
exactly as I am,
no ordinary man.

Verse 3:
Well it's another warm day
in the city of cold hearts.
It ends before it starts in their maze.
But you, you're not like that.
You know where it's at.
The only rules you follow are your own.
Chorus:
And you seem like someone
who could appreciate the fact
that I'm no ordinary man.
