VERSE 1

C5She (x355xx@1)came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at St. Martin's college, that's where I
G5Caught (355xxx@1)her eye
C5She (x355xx@1)told me that her dad was loaded
I said, "in that case I'll have a rum and coca cola," she said fine
G5And (355xxx@1)then in thirty seconds time, she said:

F5I (133xxx@1)wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do
C5I (x355xx@1)wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people, like you
G5Well (355xxx@1)what else could I do?
I said "I'll see what I can do."

VERSE 2

C5I (x355xx@1)took her to a supermarket
I don't know why, but I had to start it somewhere
G5So (355xxx@1)it started there.
C5I (x355xx@1)said, "pretend you've got no money."
She just laughed and said "oh, you're so funny"
G5I (355xxx@1)said "Yeah, well I can't see anyone else smiling in here."

Are you sure?

F5You (133xxx@1)wanna live like common people?
You wanna see whatever common people see?
C5You (x355xx@1)wanna sleep with common people...
You wanna sleep with common people, like me?
G5But (355xxx@1)she didn't understand...
She just smiled and held my hand!

CHORUS

C5Rent (x355xx@1)a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
G5Smoke (355xxx@1)some fags and play some pool,
Pretend you never went to school
C5But (x355xx@1)still you'll never get it right
'Cus when you're layed in bed at night
G5Watching (355xxx@1)roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah

F5You'll (133xxx@1)never live like common people
You'll never see whatever common people see
C5Never (x355xx@1)fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
G5And (355xxx@1)then dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do!

BRIDGE

C5, G5
C5, G5

VERSE 3

F5Sing (133xxx@1)along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you through
C5Laugh (x355xx@1)along with the common people
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you
G5And (355xxx@1)the stupid things that you do
Because you think that poor's cool

BREAKDOWN

C5Like (x355xx@1)a dog lying in the corner
They will bite you and never warn you
G5Look (355xxx@1)out, they'll tear your insides out
C5Cus (x355xx@1)everybody hates a tourist
Especially one of those who thinks it's all such a laugh
G5And (355xxx@1)the chip stains and grease
Will come out in the bath

VERSE 4

F5You (133xxx@1)will NEVER understand
How it feels to live your life
C5With (x355xx@1)no meaning or control
And with nowhere left to go
G5You (355xxx@1)are amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright that you can only wonder why

CHORUS

C5Rent (x355xx@1)a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
G5Smoke (355xxx@1)some fags and play some pool,
Pretend you never went to school
C5But (x355xx@1)still you'll never get it right
'Cus when you're layed in bed at night
G5Watching (355xxx@1)roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah

F5You'll (133xxx@1)never live like common people
Never do what common people do
C5You'll (x355xx@1)never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life, slide out of view
G5And (355xxx@1)dance and drink and screw, 'cus there's nothing else to do

C5I (x355xx@1)wanna live with common people like you (repeat til end)
