^DLivin' on free food tickets, water in the milk from a hole in the roof where the ^Crain came through. What can you ^Gdo? A^Ahah. ^DTears from the little sister, crying because she doesn't have a dress without a patch for the ^Cparty to go. But she ^Gknows, she'll get ^Aby.

Chorus:

Cause she's ^Dliving in the love of the ^Gcommon people, ^Dsmiles from the heart of a ^Afamily man. ^DDaddy's gonna buy you a ^Gdream to cling to, ^DMama's gonna love you just as ^Amuch as she can. ^A7And she ^Dcan.

^DIt's a good thing you don't have bus fare. It will ^Dfall through the hole in your pocket and you lose it in the ^Csnow on the ground. You gotta walk into ^Gtown, to find a ^Ajob. ^DTrying to keep your hands warm, but the ^Dhole in your shoe let the snow come through, unt^Cil you tie them on. Somehow you better go ^Ghome where it's ^Awarm.

Chorus:

Where you can ^Dlive in the love of the ^Gcommon people, ^Dsmiles from the heart of a ^Afamily man. ^DDaddy's gonna buy you a ^Gdream to cling to, ^DMama's gonna love you just as ^Amuch as she can. ^A7And she ^Dcan.

^DLiving on a dream ain't easy. But the closer the net, the tighter the fit that ^Cyou'll stay away. Just to take them in ^Gstyle for the family ^Apride. You know that ^Dfaith is a new foundation and a whole lotta love and a warm conversation, but ^Cdon't forget to pray. Just making it ^Gstrong, where you be^Along.

Chorus:

Paul Young - Love of the common people
