Chords
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College
That's where I G
Caught her eye
C She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said "In that case I'll have a rum and CocaCola"
She said "Fine" G
And then in thirty seconds time she said
[Chorus]
F I wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do C
Wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people
Like you G
What else could I do
I said "I'll see what I can do" C
[Verse 2]
C I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why
But I had to start it somewhere G
So it started there
C I said, "pretend you've got no money"
She just laughed and said
"Oh you're so funny"
I said "Yeah? G
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here?
Are you sure"
[Chorus]
F You wanna live like common people
You wanna see whatever common people see C
Wanna sleep with common people
You wanna sleep with common people
Like me G
But she didn't understand
She just smiled and held my hand
[Interlude]
C
[Bridge]
Rent a flatC above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fagsG and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll neCver get it right
'Cause when you're laid in bed at night
Watching roaGches climb the wall
If you called your Dad he could stop it all, yeah
[Chorus]
F You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do C
Never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view G
And then dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do C
[Solo]
C G C G
[Chorus]
F Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you through C
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you G
And the stupid things that you do
Because you think that poor is cool C
[Verse 4]
C Like a dog lying in a corner
They will bite you and never warn you
Look out,G they'll tear your insides out
C 'Cause everybody hates a tourist
Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh G
Yeah and the chip stain's grease
Will come out in the bath
You will Fnever understand
How it feels to live your life
With no meaCning or control
And with nowhere left to go
You are amazedG that they exist
And they burn so bright
Whilst you can only wonCder why
