VERSE 1
[C5]She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at St. Martin's college, that's where I
[G5]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," she said fine
[G5]And then in thirty seconds time, she said:
[F5]I wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do
[C5]I wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people, like you
[G5]Well what else could I do?
I said "I'll see what I can do."
VERSE 2
[C5]I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why, but I had to start it somewhere
[G5]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 anyone else smiling in here."
Are you sure?
[F5]You wanna live like common people?
You wanna see whatever common people see?
[C5]You wanna sleep with common people...
You wanna sleep with common people, like me?
[G5]But she didn't understand...
She just smiled and held my hand!
CHORUS
[C5]Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
[G5]Smoke some fags and play some pool,
Pretend you never went to school
[C5]But still you'll never get it right
'Cus when you're layed in bed at night
[G5]Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah
[F5]You'll never live like common people
You'll never see whatever common people see
[C5]Never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
[G5]And then dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do!
BRIDGE
C5, G5
C5, G5
VERSE 3
[F5]Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you through
[C5]Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you
[G5]And the stupid things that you do
Because you think that poor's cool
BREAKDOWN
[C5]Like a dog lying in the corner
They will bite you and never warn you
[G5]Look out, they'll tear your insides out
[C5]Cus everybody hates a tourist
Especially one of those who thinks it's all such a laugh
[G5]And the chip stains and grease
Will come out in the bath
VERSE 4
[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 that you can only wonder why
CHORUS
[C5]Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
[G5]Smoke some fags and play some pool,
Pretend you never went to school
[C5]But still you'll never get it right
'Cus when you're layed in bed at night
[G5]Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah
[F5]You'll never live like common people
Never do what common people do
[C5]You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life, slide out of view
[G5]And dance and drink and screw, 'cus there's nothing else to do
[C5]I wanna live with common people like you (repeat til end)
