   G           D
I came from a good home
            Bm
A house full of terraced dreams
G          D
That was enough for me
          Bm                          G
You know, you had to see it to believe

         D
All the late nights, good times
     Bm               G
The mistakes and the heartbreaks
        D              Bm               G
When I get lost, I go back to where I started

Chorus:
G
(Ooh)
                           D
Common people, nothing's changed (Ooh)
                                    A
You'll hear strangers singin' at night (Ooh)
                                  Bm
If you act like you're one of us (Ooh)
                                  G
If you act like you're one of us (Ooh)
                              D
Common people, know who you know (Ooh)
                                    A
Just how far you're willin' to go? (Ooh)
                                  Bm
If you act like you're one of us (Ooh)
                               D A Bm
If you act like you're one of us

I took her to the local
No deep pockets, but big hearts
Do you see what I see?
Now we're all out screamin' on the dance floor

All the late nights and the good times
And the heartbreaks, the mistakes
When I get lost, I go
Back to where I started

Chorus:
Common people, nothing's changed
You'll hear strangers singin' your name
If you act like you're one of us
Just act like you're one of us
Common people, not who you know
Just how far you're willin' to go
If you act like you're one of us
If you act like you're one of us

Common people, nothing's changed
You'll hear strangers singin' your name
If you act like you're one of us
Just act like you're one of us
Common people, not who you know
Just how far you're willin' to go
If you act like you're one of us
Just act like you're one of us

Just act like you're one of us
