Pulp - Common People (The Peel Sessions) chords
Start Jamming...
She got hungry, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at St.
Martin's College, that's where [G] I am
[C] She told me that her tap was loaded
I said, I'll have a Coca-Cola, she [G] said, fine
And in 30 seconds time, she [F] said
I wanna live like common people
I wanna do what common people [C] do
I wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people [G] like you
What else could I do?
I said, I'll see what I can [C] do
I took her to a supermarket
Don't know why, but I had to start somewhere
[G]
And it started there
The seven years, pretend you've got no money
She just laughed and said, oh you're so funny
I said, [G] yeah, well I can't see anyone else like you
Are you [F] sure?
You wanna live like common people
You wanna see whatever common people [C] see
You wanna sleep with common people
You wanna sleep with common [G] people like me
She couldn't understand, so she just smiled
And took [C] my hand
I went to the glass above the shop
Cut your hair and get a job
And smoke [G] some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But [C] still you never get it right
Cause when you're laid in bed at night
The ones who [G] work just climb the wall
But get cold, you're dead, you can stop it
[F] You'll never be like common people
You'll never live like common people [C] do
You'll never feel like common people
You'll never watch your life slide [G] out of view
And your daddy's brain is smooth
Because there's nothing [C] else to do
[G]
[C]
[G]
[F]
Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get [C] you through
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they're laughing [G] at you
And the stupid things you do
Because you think the [C] poorest go
They dance like you're in the corner
They will bite you and never warm you down
I'll tell you how it sounds
Cause everybody hates a tourist
Especially one who thinks it's all just a lie
Just a lie
Come out in the bathroom [F] and come and understand
How it is to live your life
With [C] no meaning or control
And with nowhere left to go
You are [G] amazed that they exist
And they burn smoke right whilst you get the [C] only one you are
Cut your hair and get it done
Rinse off the black lip of a shark
That's not [G] so fast to break the rule
Check it out, I never went to school
It's the [C] middle age that's getting rough
That's when you're laying in bed at night
I want [G] you to watch your slide on the wall
Let your toes do the dancing
Because you'll never [F] live like common people
You'll never live like common people
[C] You'll never live like common people
You'll never watch your lives slide out [G] of view
And dance with your friends
Because it's nothing else [C] you ever
Should have
I wanna live with common people
I wanna live with common people
I wanna live with common people
I wanna live with common people
I wanna live with common people
I wanna live with common people
[Em] [G] [N]
