[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
