#Verse

C
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at St. Martin's College
             G7
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
         G7
She said fine
And then in Thirty seconds time, she said

#Chorus
F
I wanna live like Common People
                                  C
I wanna do whatever common people do
I wanna sleep with common people
                                      G7
I wanna sleep with common people like you
Well what else could I do?
                           C
I said I'll see what I can do

#Verse

C
I took her to a supermarket
                                       G7
I dunno why, but I had to start it somewhere
So it started there
C
I said pretend you got no money
She just laughed and said
'You're so funny'
        G7                                                            
I said 'Yeah....but I can't see anyone else smiling in here. Are you sure?'

#Chorus

F
You wanna live like common people
                                     C
You wanna see whatever common people see
You wanna sleep with common people
                                        G7
You wanna sleep with common people like me
But she didn't....understand
                            C
She just smiled and held my hand

#Verse

C
Rent a flat above a 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 yeah

#Chorus

F
You'll never live like common people
                                       C
You'll never do whatever common people do
You'll never live like common people
                                            G
You'll never watch you're life slide out of view
And then dance and drink and screw
                                C
Because there's nothing else to do

#Chorus

F
Sing along with the common people
                                     C
Sing along and it might just get you through
Laugh along with the common people
                                            G7
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you
And the stupid things that you do
                               C
Because you think that poor is cool

#Verse

C
Like a dog lying in a corner
They will bite you and never warn you
      G7
Look out!
They'll turn you insides out
C
Cos everybody hates a tourist
                                          G7
Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh
And the chip stains and grease will come out in the bath

#Chorus
         F
You will never understand
How it feels to live your life
        C
With no meaning or control
And with no-where else to go
         G7
You are amazed that they exist
                                            C
And they burn so bright whilst you can only wonder why

#Verse

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 yeah

#Chorus


F
You'll never live like common people
                                       C
You'll never do whatever common people do
You'll never live like common people
                                            G
You'll never watch you're life slide out of view
And then dance and drink and screw
                                C
Because there's nothing else to do


I wanna live with common people like you
