Common Man

E  A  E  A

[Verse]
E
  I have dreamed the dream of every common man
  F#m
Ahh hoping to rise to the top
E
  I have sworn by my blood as your man, my love
     F#m
That one day, I promise one day your heartaches would stop
         E                         G#m
But I've never never never never changed
         A           Am
I never change one single grain of sand
E                      A
Oh, thanks to you baby
                         E
For just loving a common man
                         E
I want to thank you this evening
G#m
Oh, I thought, I thought that I failed you so
                    A
But that's when you turned around and looked me in my eyes

And you let me know
      E
You said, and you said it softly

I didn't have to worry about being a common man
A
  You said, "David, you don't have to worry about rising to the top"
     E
You said, you said, you said I didn't have to swear by my blood
A
  But ah baby, that one day your heartaches would stop
E
  Then you put your arms around and you said
G#m
   You never never never never cared
A                   Am
   If I never change  one single grain of sand
         E
You said, "I love you, baby
A                              E          A
  I love you for just being a common man"
       E                       A
For my gratitude just keep on growing
           E                          A
Yeah, for recognizing me, I thank you, baby
              E                         A
Yeah, for respecting me, yeah I want to thank you, baby
           E                     A
For every time of need, Lord, I thank you, baby
           E                  A
Oh for my gratitude, for respecting me, baby
                  E
For just being a common man
              A
Ah I want to thank you, babe

[Outro] (fade out)
      E                        A
In a time of need, I want to thank you for respecting me
      E                        A
In a time of worry, I want to thank you for calming my troubles
      E                A
Oh, I thank you baby
           E                    A
Thank you honey, for loving a common man like me
