[Verse]
C                                                    
■ She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
    C                                          
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College
             G7
That's where I 
           G7 
Caught her eye


[Chorus]
C                                    
■ She told me that her dad was loaded
                    C                           
I said In that case I'll have a rum and CocaCola
         G7  
She said Fine
            G7                          
And then in thirty seconds time she said
F7                             
I wanna live like common people
                                  F  C

[Verse]
                C

C               
I don't know why
                      G        
But I had to start it somewhere
G                  
So it started there
C                                   
■ I said Pretend you've got no money
    C                    
She just laughed and said

            G 
I said Yeah Ha
                                G

You wanna live like common people
                                     C  
You wanna see whatever common people see

        G                
But she didn't understand
         G                      
She just smiled and held my hand
       G                
Rent a flat above a shop
         C                 
Cut your hair and get a job


[Chorus]
                    C             
Smoke some fags and play some pool
                          C     
Pretend you never went to school
             C                 
Still you'll never get it right
            C                          
'cause when you're laid in bed at night
G                              
Watching roaches climb the wall
       G                                        
If you called your dad he could stop it all yeah
                       G            
You'll never live like common people
       C                                 
You'll never do whatever common people do
C                            
Never fail like common people
                        C                     
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
    G                             
And then dance and drink and screw
        G                            
Because there's nothing else to do ow
    G       
Woo woo chch
                    G            
Sing along with the common people
                        F                   
Sing along and it might just get you through
                     F            
Laugh along with the common people
            F                                  
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you
        F                        
And the stupid things that you do
        C                             
Because you think that poor is cool oh
       C                    
Like a dog lying in a corner
                   C                 
They will bite you and never warn you
     C                                
Look out they'll tear your insides out
                 G              
'cause everybody hates a tourist
                          G                    
Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh
             G                     
Yeah and the chip stains and grease
     G                   
Will come out in the bath
               C         
You will never understand


[Solo]
                G C G F             
How it feels to ■ ■ ■ live your life


[Chorus]
     F                    
With no meaning or control
                 F         
And with nowhere left to go
               F              
You are amazed that they exist
F                      
And they burn so bright
C                             
Whilst you can only wonder why
C                       
Rent a flat above a shop
         C                 
Cut your hair and get a job
                    C             
Smoke some fags and play some pool
            G                   
Pretend you never went to school
                              G    
But still you'll never get it right
                           G           
'cause when you're laid in bed at night
G7               C             
Watching roaches climb the wall
       C                                        
If you called your dad he could stop it all yeah
                C            
Never live like common people
              C               
Never do what common people do
                C            
Never fail like common people
                      C                
Never watch your life slide out of view
                   C              
And then dance and drink and screw
                C                 
Because there's nothing else to do
                C                     
Wanna live with common people like you
                C                     
Wanna live with common people like you
      C                               
Wanna live with common people like you
