Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][D][D][E]
[A][D][D][E]

[Verse 1]
[A]Girl, I'm in love with you
[D]This ain't the honeymoon
[D]Passed the infatuation pha[E]se
[A]Right in the thick of love
[D]At times we get sick of love
[D]It seems like we argue
every[E]day
I know [A]I misbehaved
and you've [D]made your mistakes
And we both still got room left to [E]grow
And though [A]love sometimes hurts
I [D]still put you first
And we'll make this thing work
But I [E]think we should take it slow

[Chorus 1]
[A]We're just ordinary peo[D]ple
[D]We don't know
which way to [E]go
[A]'Cause we're ordinary peo[D]ple
[D]Maybe we should take it slo[E]w
Take it [A]slow, oh, [D]oh
[D]This time we'll take it [E]slow
Take it [A]slow, oh, [D]oh
[D]This time we'll take it [E]slow

[Verse 2]
[A]This ain't a movie, no
[D]No fairytale conclusion y'all
[D]It gets more confusing every day[E], oh
[A]Sometimes it's Heaven sent
Then [D]we head back to hell again
[D]We kiss then we make up on the way[E]
I [A]hang up, you call
We [D]rise and we fall
And we feel like just walking a[E]way
As [A]our love advances
we [D]take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy
[E]I still want you to stay

[Chorus 2]
[A]We're just ordinary peo[D]ple
[D]We don't know which way to go[E]
[A]'Cause we're ordinary peo[D]ple
[D]Maybe we should take it slo[E]w
Take it [A]slow, oh, [D]oh
[D]This time we'll take it [E]slow
Take it [A]slow, oh, [D]oh
[D]This time we'll take it [E]slow

[Bridge 1]
Take it slow
[Am]Maybe we'll live and learn
[C]Maybe we'll crash and bur[D]n
[E]Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave
Maybe you'll return
[Am]Maybe another fight
[C]Maybe we won't surviv[D]e
[E]But maybe we'll grow

[Chorus 3]
We never know, baby, you and I
[A]We're just ordinary peo[D]ple
[D]We don't know which way to go,[E] hey
[A]'Cause we're ordinary peo[D]ple
[D]Maybe we should take it
[E]slow, hey, hey

[Chorus 4]
[A]We're just ordinary peo[D]ple
[D]We don't know which way to go[E]
[A]'Cause we're ordinary peo[D]ple
[D]Maybe we should take it slo[E]w
Take it [A]slow, oh, [D]oh
[D]This time we'll take it [E]slow
Take it [A]slow, oh, [D]oh
[D]This time we'll take it [E]slow
Take it [A]slow, [D]slow
[D]This time we'll take it [E]slow
Take it [A]slow, oh, [D]oh
[D]This time we'll take it [E]slow
