Common People

(início)

A
She came from Greece she's got a thirst for knowledge
                                                              E
She studied sculpture at Saint 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                                                                           E
I want to sleep with common people, I want to sleep with common people like you
                                                        A
Well what else was I to do, I said I'll see what I can do
A                                                                   E
I took her to a supermarket, I 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                                                                               E
You want to sleep with common people, you want to sleep with common people like me
                                                       A
But she didn't understand, she just 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                                                                                     E
You'll never fail like common people, you'll never watch your life slide right out of view,
                                                                      A
And you can dance and drink and screw because there's nothing else to do
D
Sing along with the common people, sing along with the common people thru
A                                                                               E
Laugh along with the common people, laugh along even though they're laughing at you
                                                                 A
And the stupid things that you do because you think that poor is cool
E                                                                     A
And you can dance and drink and screw because there's nothing else to do
