Common Man

G           C9                   D
Common man, six foot tall he stands
C9                                
Waiting on his date for some 
            D
company party in France
G               C9               
And she's late, the boss man said
                 D
 "a quarter till eight"
C9                             
And as nine rolled around at his 
watch he's looking down, the ticking
D
 fate
C9                      D        
Oh the funny thing about love is 
             G  (C9 G)
it makes you wait

G                       C9       
He wore his good shoes, now he's 
                           D
walking them home with the homesick 
blues
C9                                
Feeling like he fucked up, it's 
                                  D
all right he'll get back up because 
he chooses to
G             C9                 
His overcoat, speckled with snow 
        D
he walks alone

C9                                
Just then he turns his head and 
sees a girl of which they said the 
  D
poets wrote

C9        D              Em     
Don't hesitate my dear, don't 
                    G
wait put it all on the line
C9              D                
I'm a leap of faith my dear, and 
      Em                G
I'm slipping down your spine
C9     D                     Em 
I will wait my dear till I'm 
                  G
dead or the end of my time
C9            D           G  (C9 G)
Or you let me know you're mine

G               C9               
He went insane; oh the thought of
                 D
 her tortured his brain
C9                                
So he retraced his steps so he 
                         D
would not forget where she'd been
G                C9              
But she was gone, just the scent 
          D
of her lingered on
C9                                
So he lived all of his days with 
                             D
his head stuck in a maze half stoned

C9        D                 Em  
Don't hesitate my dear, don't 
                    G
wait put it all on the line
C9            D                  
I'm a leap of faith my dear, and 
    Em                  G
I'm slipping down your spine
C9      D                   Em  
I will wait my dear till I'm 
                   G
dead or the end of my time
C9           D             G
Or you let me know you're mine
C9           D             G (C9 G)
Or you let me know you're mine
