Common People

(início)

C                       G
We are a common people, each of us a fallen man
Am                                    F
Let's find that common ground and stop drawing lines in the sand
C                       G
We are a common people, living in a common life
Am                                      F
There are ties that bind us all when we look beyond the lines
Am      G             F
Common people you and I
Am      G             F
Common people you and I
C
I see a blind man on the street
G
He doesn't know what I look like
Am
So he can't judge the man I am
F
Except by what he sees inside
C
I see a child on the street
G
He doesn't know the mistakes I've made
Am
I know he takes me where I am
F
He sees a friend not a crusade
Chorus.
C
I see a brother on the other side
G
of my crusade, my holy fight
Am
I think I know where I went wrong
F
when I gave up love to be proved right
C
I saw a man die on a cross
G
He forgot the mistakes I've made
Am
He died for me the way I was
F
and He wants me to love the same
Chorus.
         Dm
Can't we tear the fences down?
         Am
Can't we rip the labels off?
        F
Can we share the common ground
           C               G
instead of judging what is not?
        Dm
Can't we love instead of hate?
        Am
Can't we trust instead of fear?
            F
Can we stop fighting for a moment
    C               G
and feel our common fear?
Am                     G
Is it us against them, wrong against right,
F
black against white, my kind your kind?
Am                            G
There comes a time to put the argument down
           F
and have a party on the common ground!
