Chorus:
G
When you come down

D C G C D G
To be like me, to see like me

To feel like me

Take a look at me I'm a poor man's son
C G
I never did no harm to no one

You've got money in the bank
Em D
I don't have none
Chorus:
When you come down
From your ivory tower
You will see how it really must be
When you come down, down, down
From your ivory tower
You will see how it really must be
To be like me
To see like me
To feel like me
Em
You got rose coloured glasses
Bm
In a world that really thinks
C D G
there's so much glamour to you
Em
You've got opinions and judgements
Bm
About all kind of things
C D G
That you don't know anything about
Don't you know the price I have to pay
Just to do everything I have to do?
Do you think that there is nothing to it?
You should try it sometime
Chorus:
When you come down, down, down
From your ivory tower
Oh you will see how it really must be
Oh when you come on down, down, down
From your ivory tower
Oh you will see how it really must be
To be like me
To see like me
To feel like me
To see like me
To feel like me
To see like me
To feel like me
