Common People

A
She came from Greece she's got a 
thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint 
                               E
Martin's College, that's where I 
caught her eye
A
She told me that her Dad was loaded,
 I said in that case I'll have rum 
and coca cola
         E
She said fine and in thirty seconds 
time she said

D
I want to live like common people, I
 want to do whatever common people 
do
A                                 
I want to sleep with common 
people, I want to sleep with common 
      E
people like you
Well what else was I to do, I said 
                     A
I'll see what I can do

A                                 
I took her to a supermarket, I 
                                  E
don't know why but I had to start it
 somewhere, so I started it there
A
I said pretend that you've got no 
money, she just laughed and said oh 
you're so funny

       E
I said yeah, well I don't see anyone
 smiling here

D
You want to live like common people,
 you want to see whatever common 
people see
A                           
You want to sleep with common 
people, you want to sleep with 
                     E
common people like me
But she didn't understand, she just 
                   A
smiled and held my hand

A
Rent a flat above a shop, cut your 
hair and get a job
           E
Smoke some fags and play some pool, 
pretend you never went to school
A
Still you'll never get it right, 
cause when you're laid in bed at 
night
         E
Watching roaches climb your wall, if
 your Daddy called he could stop it 
all

D
You'll never live like common 
people, you'll never do what common 
people do
A                           
You'll never fail like common 
people, you'll never watch your life
                      E
 slide right out of view,
And you can dance and drink and 
screw because there's nothing else 
   A
to do

D
Sing along with the common people, 
sing along with the common people 
thru
A                                 
Laugh along with the common 
people, laugh along even though 
              E
they're laughing at you
And the stupid things that you do 
                               A
because you think that poor is cool

E                             
And you can dance and drink and 
screw because there's nothing else 
     A
to do
