intro: C class="chord">Csus4 C
C
She came from Greece she had a thirst for
knowledge
She studies sculpture at St. Martins College
G
ThatЄs where I caught her eye
C
She told me that her dad was loaded
I said "In that case IЄll have a rum and
coca-cola"
G
She said "fine" and in a thirty seconds
time she said
F
"I want to live like common people
C
I want to do whatever common people do
I want to sleep with common people
G
I want to sleep with common people like
you"
C
Well what else could I do?, I said "IЄll see
what I can do"
C
I took her to a supermarket
G
I donЄt know why but I had to start it somewhere -
so it started there
C
I said "Pretend youЄve got no money"
She just laughed and said "Oh, youЄre so
funny"
G
I said "Yeah, well I canЄt see someone else
smiling in here
F
Are you sure you want to live like common people
C
You want to see whatever common people see
You want to sleep with common people
G
You want to sleep with common people like me
C
But she didnЄt understand, she just smiled and
held my hand
C
Rent a flat above your shop, cut you hair and get
a job
G
Smoke some fags and play some pool, prentend you
never went to school
C
But still youЄll 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
F
You´ll never live like common people
C
You´ll never do whatever common people do
You´ll never fail like common people
G
You´ll never watch your life slide out of
view
C
And dance and drink and screw because thereЄs
nothing else to do
C G
C G
F
Sing along with the common people,
C
Sing along and it might just get you thru´
Laugh along with the common people
class="chord">G
Laugh along even though they are laughing at you
And the stupid things that you do
C
Because you think that poor is cool
C
Like a dog lying in a corner they will bite you
and never warn you
G
look out, they´ll tear you insides out
C
´Cos everybody hates a tourist especially
one who thinks that itЄs 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
C
Whilst you can only wonder why
C
Rent a flat above your shop, cut you hair and get
a job
G
Smoke some fags and play some pool, prentend 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
F
You´ll never live like common people
C
You´ll never do whatever common people do
You´ll never fail like common people
G
You´ll never watch your life slide out of
view
C
And dance and drink and screw because thereЄs
nothing else to do
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
