[Intro]
F#
[Verse]
F#
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studies sculpture at St. Martins College
C#
That’s where I caught her eye
F#
She told me that her dad was loaded
I said:In that case I’ll have a rum and coca-cola
C#
She said fine, and in a thirty seconds time she said
[Chorus]
B
I want to live like common people
F#
I want to do whatever common people do
I want to sleep with common people
C#
I want to sleep with common people like you
Well what else could I do?,
F#
I said "I’ll see what I can do
[Verse]
F#
I took her to a supermarket
C#
I don’t know why but I had to start it somewhere
so it started there
F#
I said "Pretend you’ve got no money"
She just laughed and said "Oh, you’re so funny"
C#
I said Yeah, well I can’t see someone else smiling in here
[Chorus]
B
Are you sure you want to live like common people
F#
You want to see whatever common people see
You want to sleep with common people
C#
You want to sleep with common people like me
F#
But she didn’t understand, she just smiled and held my hand
[Bridge]
F#
Rent a flat above your shop, cut you hair and get a job
C#
Smoke some fags and play some pool,
prentend you never went to school
F#
But still you’ll never get it right,
’cos when you’re laid in bed at night
C#
watching roaches climb the wall,
if you called your dad he could stop it all
[Chorus]
B
You’ll never live like common people
F#
You’ll never do whatever common people do
You’ll never fail like common people
C#
You’ll never watch your life slide out of view
And dance and drink and screw
F#
because there’s nothing else to do
[Interlude]
F# C#
F# C#
[Chorus]
B
Sing along with the common people,
F#
Sing along and it might just get you thru
Laugh along with the common people
C#
Laugh along even though they are laughing at you
And the stupid things that you do
F#
Because you think that poor is cool
[Outro]
F#
I want to live with common people like you
F#
I want to live with common people like you
F#
I want to live with common people like you
F#
I want to live with common people like you
F#
I want to live with common people like you
F#
I want to live with common people like you
F#
La la la la, oh
F#
La la la la, oh
F#~
La la la la, oh you
