Lyrics
Look at (Gsus2)his t’ry, o pen (Dsus2)the books.
There are stat ues with (Bbsus2)great looks.
There are gods, there are (Dsus2)kings; I’m pret ty sure I’m the (Bbsus2)same thing.
Be yond bound ’ries, be yond (Dsus2)rules; I’ve been (Fsus2)taught in the best (Bbsus2)schools.
There is lit tle I won’t (Dsus2)do.
Is the same thing true of (Bbsus2)you?
I am need ing
so much more;
ev ’ry (Gm)pleas ure
is a bore.
I am some thing
oth er than
a com mon man;
I’m not a com mon man.
I do sus (C)pect
I’m one of (Gm13)few.
I can show you some thing (G5)new.
All the con (C)straints,
they are long (Gm13)gone.
I’ll con fess no in ter est in (G5)right and wrong.
I am need ing
so much more;
ev ’ry (Gm)pleas ure
is a bore.
I am some thing
oth er than
a com mon man;
I’m not a com mon man.
I am greed y,
you’re a whore.
What’s the dif f’rence?
Who’s keep ing score?
There’s no (C)rea son
to be fair;
it does n’t mat ter
if you’re not there.
Are you los ing
too much (Ebsus2)blood?
Let it flow;
let it flood.
Just keep (C)breath ing
if you (Ebsus2)can,
and you will see I’m not a com mon man.
I am (C)need ing
so much more;
ev ’ry (Eb5)pleas ure
is a bore.
I am (C)some thing
oth er than
a com mon (Eb5)man;
I’m not a com mon man.
I am (C)need ing
so much more;
ev ’ry (Eb5)pleas ure
is a bore.
I am (C)some thing
oth er than
a com mon (Eb5)man;
I’m not a com mon man.
