[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
