She studies sculpture at St. Martins College
That’s where [G]I caught her eye
[C]She told me that her dad was loaded

She said [G]"fine" and in a thirty seconds time she said

[F]"I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people [C]do
I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like [G]you"
Well what else could I do? I said "I’ll see what I can [C]do"

[C]I took her to a supermarket
I don’t know why but I had to start it some[G]where - so it started there
I said [C]"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 someone else smiling in here

Are your sure[F]you want to live like common people
You want to see whatever common people [C]see
You want to sleep with common people
You want to sleep with common people like [G]me
But she didn’t understand, she just smiled and held my [C]hand

[C]Rent a flat above your shop, cut you hair and get a job
Smoke some [G]fags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school
But still you’ll [C]never get it right, cause when you’re laid in bed at night
watching [G]roaches climb the wall, if you called your dad he could stop it all

Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they are laughing at [G]you
And the stupid things that you do
Because you think that poor is [C]cool

[C]Like a dog lying in a corner they will bite you and never warn you
look [G]out, they’ll tear you insides out
[C]Cause everybody hates a tourist especially one who thinks that it’s all
Such a [G]laugh and the chip stains and grease will come out in the bath

You will [F]never understand how it feels to live your life
With no [C]meaning or control and with nowhere left to go
You are a[G]mazed that they exist and they burn so bright
Whilst you can only [C]wonder why

[C]Rent a flat above your shop, cut you hair and get a job
Smoke some [G]fags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school
But still you’ll [C]never get it right, cause when you’re laid in bed at night

[G]When I first met you I was [F]cold
[G]A melting snowman I was [Am]told
[G]But there was no one there to [F]hold
Before I swore, that I [G]would be alone forever more

Chorus:
[C]Wow, [C/B]look at you now,
[Am]Flowers in the window
Its such a [D7]lovely day
And I'm [Fm]glad you feel the [G]same,
Cause they stand [C]up [C/B]out in the crowd
[Am]You are one in a million and I [D7]love you so,
Lets [Fm]watch the flowers [G]grow

[G]There is no reason to feel [F]bad
[G]But there are many seasons to feel [Am]bad, sad, now
[G]Its just a bunch of feelings that we've [F]had
To hope that I am [G]here to help you with the load

[Chorus]

[C] [C/B] [Am] [D7] [Fm] [G] [x2]

[G]So now we're here and now is [F]fine
[G]So far away from there and there is [Am]time, time, time
[G]To plant these seeds and watch them [F]grow
So there'll be flowers [G]in the window when we go

[Chorus] [x2]

Lets [Fm]watch the flowers....[C]grow
