Common people
C5
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studies sculpture at St. Martins College
G5
That?s where I caught her eye
C5
She told me that her dad was loaded
I said "In that case I?ll have a rum and coca-cola"
G5
She said "fine" and in a thirty seconds time she said
F5
"I want to live like common people
C5
I want to do whatever common people do
I want to sleep with common people
G5
I want to sleep with common people like you"
C5
Well what else could I do?, I said "I?ll see what I can do"
C5
I took her to a supermarket
G5
I don?t know why but I had to start it somewhere - so it started there
C5
I said "Pretend you?ve got no money"
She just laughed and said "Oh, you?re so funny"
G5
I said "Yeah, well I can?t see someone else smiling in here
F5
Are you sure you want to live like common people
C5
You want to see whatever common people see
You want to sleep with common people
G5
You want to sleep with common people like me
C5
But she didn?t understand, she just smiled and held my hand
C5
Rent a flat above your shop, cut you hair and get a job
G5
Smoke some fags and play some pool, prentend you never went to school
C5
But still you?ll never get it right, ?cos when you?re laid in bed at night
G5
watching roaches climb the wall, if you called your dad he could stop it all
F5
You?ll never live like common people
C5
You?ll never do whatever common people do
You?ll never fail like common people
G5
You?ll never watch your life slide out of view
C5
And dance and drink and screw because there?s nothing else to do
C5 G5
C5 G5
F5
Sing along with the common people,
C5
Sing along and it might just get you thru?
Laugh along with the common people
G5
Laugh along even though they are laughing at you
And the stupid things that you do
C5
Because you think that poor is cool
C5
Like a dog lying in a corner they will bite you and never warn you
G5
look out, they?ll tear you insides out
C5
?Cos everybody hates a tourist especially one who thinks that it?s all
G5
Such a laugh
and the chip stains and grease will come out in the bath
F5
you will never understand how it feels to live your life
C5
With no meaning or control and with nowhere left to go
G5
You are amazed that they exist and they burn so bright
C5
Whilst you can only wonder why
C5
Rent a flat above your shop, cut you hair and get a job
G5
Smoke some fags and play some pool, prentend you never went to school
C5
But still you?ll never get it right, ?cos when you?re laid in bed at night
G5
watching roaches climb the wall, if you called your dad he could stop it all
F5
You?ll never live like common people
C5
You?ll never do whatever common people do
You?ll never fail like common people
G5
You?ll never watch your life slide out of view
C5
And dance and drink and screw because there?s nothing else to do
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you

F5 F5 Bb5 Bb5
F5
Well we were born within an hour of each other
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother
Bb5
Your name is Deborah. Deborah - it never suited you
F5
Oh and they said that when we grew up
We4d get married and never split up
Bb5
We never did it, although I often I thought of it
C5 [ C5 ]
Oh Deborah, do you recall?
C5 C5
Your house was very small with wood-chips on the wall
C5 F5
When I came around to call you didn4t notice me at all
Bb5
And I said "Let4s all meet up in the year 2000
D5 G5
Won4t it be strange when we4re all fully grown?
C5 F5 F5
Be there two o4clock by the fountain down the ro-----ad"
Bb5
I never knew that you4d get married
D5 G5
I would be living down here on my own
C5 F5
On that damp and loney Thursday years ago
F5
You were the first girl in school to get breasts
Martyn said that you were the best
Bb5
The boys all loved you but I was a mess
I had to watch them try to get you undressed
F5
We were friends that was as far as it went
I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant
Bb5
Oh, it meant nothing to you - cos you were oh so popular
C5
Oh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small with wood-chips on the wall
F5
When I came around to call you didn4t notice me at all
Bb5
And I said "Let4s all meet up in the year 2000
D5 G5
Won4t it be strange when we4re all fully grown?
C5 F5
Be there two o4clock by the fountain down the road"
Bb5
I never knew that you4d get married
D5 G5

F5 Bb5
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh Deborah, do you recall?

Oh, what are you doing Sunday, baby?
D5
Would you like to come and meet me maybe?
G5 C5 F5
You can even bring your baby, oh.

"This is a song about those times when your life seems to be
following a set
path. It's alright ... but then suddenly something happens and
shakes it all
up - and it's called F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A. double L.E.D. L.O.V. ...

- Jarvis Cocker
A5
The room is cold, and it's been like this for several months,
and if I close my eyes I can visualise everything in it.
Right down, right down to the broken handle of the third drawer
down of the dressing table. And the world outside this room has
assumed a familiar shape, the same events shuffled in a slightly
different order each day, just like a modern shopping centre.
And it's so cold.....,
Yeah it's so cold...
D5 C5 D5 C5
What ...
E5 D5 E5 D5
is ...
F5 E5 F5 E5
this ...
E5 D5 E5 D5
feeling called love?
D5 C5 D5 C5
Why me?
E5 D5 E5 D5
Why you?
F5 E5 F5 E5
Why here?
E5 D5 E5 D5
And why now?
D5 C5 D5 C5
It doesn't make no sense. No.
E5 D5 E5 D5
It's not convenient. No.
F5 E5 F5 E5
It doensn't fit my plans.
E5 D5 E5 D5
No, it's something I don't understand oh.
D5 C5 D5 C5
F.E.E.L.I.N.G.
{And as I stand and cross the room}
E5 D5 E5 D5
C.A. double L.E.D.
{I feel as if my whole life has been leading to this one moment}
F5 E5 F5 E5
L. O. V. E.
{And as I touch your shoulder, tonight}
E5 D5 E5 D5
What is this thing that is happening to me?
{this room has become the centre of the entire universe}
A5
So what do I do? I've got this slightly sick feeling in my stomach
like I'm standing on the top of a very high building. Oh yeah, all
the stuff they tell you about in the movies, but this isn't
chocolate boxes and roses - it's dirtier than that, like some small
animal that only comes out at night. And I see flashes of the shape
of your breasts and the curve of you belly and they make me have to
sit down and catch my breath.
And it's so cold.......,
Yeah it's so cold...
(Chords as before...)
What ... is ... this ... feeling called love?
Why me? Why you? Why here? And why now?
It doesn't make no sense. No.
It's not convenient. No.
It doensn't fit my plans,
But I've got that taste in my mouth again
F.E.E.L.I.N.G.
{And the world begins to spin and spin outside the window}
C.A. double L.E.D.
{faster and faster and faster}
L. O. V. E.
{And this room has become the focus around which everything else
revolves}
What is this thing that is happening to me?
F.E.E.L.I.N.G. C.A. double L.E.D. L.O.V.E.

Live Bed Show
by Pulp
A5
She doesn't have to go to work
A5
but she doesn't want to stay in bed
E5 [ E5 ]
`cause it's changed from something comfortable
A5
to something else instead
________________________________________________________________________
[Verse 1]
A5 E5
This bed has seen it all from the first time to the last
G5 D5
the silences of now and the good times of the past
D5 G5
and it only cost ten pounds from the shop just down the road
F5 E5 A5
Mind you, that was seven years ago and things were very different then
________________________________________________________________________
[Verse 2] (same chords)
It didn't get much rest at first the headboard banging in the night
The neighbours didn't dare complain, Oh everything wqas going right
Now there's no need to complain `cause it never makes a sound
Something beautiful left town and she doesn't even know it's name
________________________________________________________________________
F5 D5
Now every night she plays a silent game (ooh ooh ooh)
F5 D5
called pretending nothing's going wrong
G5 F5
but she knows if this show was televised
E5 A5
no-one would watch it, not tonight But seven years ago...
_______________________________________________________________________
[verse chords...]
La la lala lala la...
Now there's no need to complain `cause it never makes a sound
Something beautiful left town and she never even know it's name

"Something Changed"
[Verse 1]
G5 B5 C5
I wrote this song two hours before we met
G5 B5 C5
I didn't know your name or what you looked like yet Oh
C5 D5 B5 E5
I could have stayed at home and gone to bed
C5 D5 B5 E5
I could have gone to see a film instead
B5 E5 A5 D5
You might have changed your mind and seen your friends
B5 E5 A5 D5 A5 D5
Life could have been very different but then something changed
[ D5 D5 D5 G5 G5 G5 ]
[Verse 2] (same chords as verse 1)
Do you believe that there's someone up above?
And does he have a timetable directing acts of love?
Why did I write this song on that one day?
Why did you touch my hand and softly say
"Stop questions that don't matter anyway
Just give us a kiss to celebrate here today something changed"
[ D5 D5 D5 G5 G5 G5 ]
[ G5 B5 C5 ] x2
C5 D5 B5 E5
When we woke up that morning we had no way of knowing
C5 D5 B5 E5
that in a matter of hours we change the way we were going
B5 E5 B5 E5 A5 D5
where would I be now? Where would I be now if we never met?
B5 E5 A5 D5
Would I be singing this song to someone else instead?
A5 D5 G5
I don't know, but like you just said
G5
something changed.
Suggestions and corrections are always welcome!

Sorted For E's And Whizz by Pulp
[Verse1]
C5
Oh is this the way they say the futures meant to feel?
G5
Oh just twenty thousand people standing in a field
C5
And I just don't understand quite what this feeling is
G5
That's okay cos we're all sorted out for E's and Whizz
C5
And tell me when the spaceship lands
G5
Cos all this has just got to mean something
[CHORUS]
D5
In the middle of the night
F5 G5 Bb5
It feels alright but then tomorrow morning
A5 Bb5 G5 G5
Ohh ohh when you come down
Oh yeah the pirate radio told us what was going down
Got the tickets from some messed up bloke in Camden Town
And no one seems to know exactly where it is
But that's okay, cos we're all sorted out for E's and Whizz
At four o' clock the normal world seems very very very far away
Hey hey
[CHORUS]
C5 G5
Just keep on moving
C5
Everybody asks your name they say we're all the same
G5
And now it's, Nice One, Geezer - that's as far as the conversation went
C5
I lost my friends I dance alone, it's 6 o' clock, I wanna go home
[This bit's spoken, and the timing's a bit weird, so just do the chords as before!]
G5
But it's no way not today, makes you wonder what it meant
C...
And this hollow feeling grows and grows and grows and grows
And you wanna call your mother and say, "Mother,
I can never come home again because I seem to have left
an important part of my brain somewhere in a field in Hampshire. Alright
[CHORUS]
A5 Bb5
Oohh Oohh when you come down
A5 Bb5
Ooh what if you never come down?

"Underwear"
[Verse 1]
A5 C#5
Why don't you shut the door
D5
And close the curtains
D5
'Cause you're not going anywhere
A5 C#5
He's coming up the stairs
D5
And in a moment
D5
He'll want to see your underwear
[CHORUS]
D5 D5
I couldn't stop it now
A5
There's no way to get out
F#5
He's standing far too near
E5
How the hell did you get here
F#5 D5 A5
Standing naked in somebody elses room
F#5 E5
I'd give my whole life to see you
D5 D5
Just you standing there
A5
Only in your underwear
[Verse 2] (same chords as verse 1)
If fashion is your trade
When you're naked
I guess you must be unemployed
But once it's underway
There's no escaping
The fact that you're a girl and he's a boy

A5 C#5 D5 D5

If you could close your eyes
And just remember
This is what you wanted last night
So why is it so hard
For you to touch him
For you to give yourself to him , Jesus
A5 Ab5 Ab5 ... (etc)
Du du du du du du du ...
A5 C#5 D5
Oh yeah, I wanna see you

Wanna see you standing in your underwear.
