Common People

[Verse]
C
She came from Greece she had a 
thirst for knowledge

She studies sculpture at St. Martins
 College
                     G
That's where I caught her eye
C
She told me that her dad was loaded

I said "In that case, I'll have a 
rum and coca-cola"
                  G
She said "fine" and in a thirty 
seconds time she said


[Chorus]
F
"I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people 
   C
do

I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people 
          G
like you"
Well, what else could I do? I said 
                        C
"I'll see what I can do"


[Verse]
C
I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why but I had to start 
                                G
it somewhere - so it started there
C
I said "Pretend you've got no money"

She just laughed and said "Oh, 
you're so funny"
             G
I said "Yeah, well I can't see 
someone else smiling in here


[Chorus]
                    F
Are you sure you want to live like 
common people
You want to see whatever common 
           C
people see

Continúa después del anuncio
You want to sleep with common people
You want to sleep with common people
         G
 like me"
But she didn't understand, she just 
                        C
smiled and held my hand


[Bridge]
             C
Rent a flat above your shop, cut 
your hair and get a job
                        G
Smoke some fags and play some pool, 
pretend you never went to school
                           C
But still, you'll never get it 
right, 'cos when you're laid in bed 
at night
                     G
watching roaches climb the wall, if 
you called your dad he could stop it
 all


[Chorus]
F
You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common 
          C
people do

You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide 
            G
out of view
And dance and drink and screw 
                                   C
because there's nothing else to do

[Chorus]
F
Sing along with the common people,
Sing along and it might just get you
      C
 thru

Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they are 
                G
laughing at you

And the stupid things that you do
Because you think that poor is cool
C



[Verse]
C
Like a dog lying in a corner, they 
will bite you and never warn you
         G
look out, they'll tear your insides 
out
C
'Cos everybody hates a tourist 
especially one who thinks that it's 
all
               G
Such a laugh

and the chip stains and grease will 
come out in the bath

               F
you will never understand how it 
feels to live your life
                    C
With no meaning or control and with 
nowhere left to go
                  G
You are amazed that they exist and 
they burn so bright
Whilst you can only wonder why
          C

                           C

at night
                     G

[Chorus]
F
You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common 
          C
people do

You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide 
            G
out of view
And dance and drink and screw 
                                   C
