    Verse 1
    She 
    came 
    from 
    Greece 

    she 
    had 
    thirst 
    for 
    knowledge 

    She 
    studied 
    sculpture 

    at 
    Saint 
    Martin's 
    College 

    That's 
    where 

    Caught 
    her 
    eye 

    She 
    told 
    me 
    that 
    her 
    Dad 
    was 
    loaded 

    said 
    "In 
    that 
    case 

    I'll 
    have 
    rum 
    and 
    Coca 
    Cola" 

    She 
    said 
    "Fine" 

    And 
    then 
    in 
    thirty 
    seconds 
    time 
    she 
    said 

    wanna 
    live 
    like 
    common 
    people 

    wanna 
    do 
    whatever 
    common 
    people 
    do 

    Wanna 
    sleep 
    with 
    common 
    people 

    wanna 
    sleep 
    with 
    common 
    people 

    Like 
    you 

    What 
    else 
    could 
    do 

    said 
    "I'll, 
    I'll 
    see 
    what 
    can 
    do" 

    Verse 2
    took 
    her 
    to 
    supermarket 

    don't 
    know 
    why 

    But 
    had 
    to 
    start 
    it 
    some
    where 

    So 
    it 
    started 
    there 

    said, 
    "Pretend 
    you've 
    got 
    no 
    money" 

    She 
    just 
    laughed 
    and 
    said 
    "Oh 
    you're 
    so 
    funny" 

    said 
    "Yeah? 

    Well 
    can't 
    see 
    anyone 
    else 
    smiling 
    in 
    here? 

    Are 
    you 
    sure" 

    You 
    wanna 
    live 
    like 
    common 
    people 

    You 
    wanna 
    see 
    whatever 
    common 
    people 
    see 

    Wanna 
    sleep 
    with 
    common 
    people 

    You 
    wanna 
    sleep 
    with 
    common 
    people 

    Like 
    me 

    But 
    she 
    didn't 
    unde
    stand 

    She 
    just 
    smiled 
    and 
    held 
    my 
    hand 

    Pre-chorus 1
    Rent 
    flat 
    above 
    shop 

    Cut 
    your 
    hair 
    and 
    get 
    job 

    Smoke 
    some 
    fags 
    and 
    play 
    some 
    pool 

    Pretend 
    you 
    never 
    went 
    to 
    school 

    But 
    still 
    you'll 
    never 
    get 
    it 
    right 

    'Cause 
    when 
    you're 
    laid 
    in 
    bed 
    at 
    night 

    Watching 
    roaches 
    climb 
    the 
    wall 

    Chorus 1
    If 
    you 
    called 
    your 
    Dad 
    he 
    could 
    stop 
    it 
    all, 
    yeah 

    You'll 
    never 
    live 
    like 
    common 
    people 

    You'll 
    never 
    do 
    whatever 
    common 
    people 
    do 

    Never 
    fail 
    like 
    common 
    people 

    You'll 
    never 
    watch 
    your 
    life 
    slide 
    out 
    of 
    view 

    And 
    then 
    dance 
    and 
    drink 
    and 
    screw 

    Because 
    there's 
    nothing 
    else 
    to 
    do 

    Interlude 1




    Bridge 1
    Sing 
    along 
    with 
    the 
    common 
    people 

    Sing 
    along 
    and 
    it 
    might 
    just 
    get 
    you 
    through 

    Laugh 
    along 
    with 
    the 
    common 
    people 

    Laugh 
    along 
    even 
    though 

    they're 
    laughing 
    at 
    you 

    And 
    the 
    stupid 
    things 
    that 
    you 
    do 

    Because 
    you 
    think 
    that 
    poor 
    is 
    cool 

    Verse 3
    Like 
    dog 
    lying 
    in 
    corner 

    They 
    will 
    bite 
    you 
    and 
    never 
    warn 
    you 

    Look 
    out, 

    they'll 
    tear 
    your 
    insides 
    out 

    'Cause 
    everybody 
    hates 
    tourist 

    Especially 
    one 
    who 
    thinks 
    it's 
    all 
    such 
    laugh 

    Yeah 
    and 
    the 
    chip 
    stains 
    and 
    grease 

    Will 
    come 
    out 
    in 
    the 
    bath 

    You 
    will 
    never 
    understand 

    How 
    it 
    feels 
    to 
    live 
    your 
    life 

    With 
    no 
    meaning 
    or 
    control 

    And 
    with 
    nowhere 
    left 
    to 
    go 

    You 
    are 
    a
    mazed 
    that 
    they 
    exist 

    And 
    they 
    burn 
    so 
    bright 

    Whilst 
    you 
    can 
    only 
    wonder 
    why 

    Pre-chorus 2
    Rent

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
