Intro: E A E A B E x 2
E A B E
Oh oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
A B E A
I'd rather shake a honest hand,
E
Than the one that bears me gifts
A B E
I'd rather bare the wounds of love,
A B
Than know a strangers kiss
A E
I'd rather rule my spirit
A E B
Than rule the wealth of lands,
E A B A
It's just this heart of clay that makes me,
E
A common day man,
Chorus:
A E
Common day man, knocking on the same doors,
A E
Common day man, sweeping up the same floors,
A F#m B
Common day man, you always know where you stand, yeah,
E A E A B E x 2
With a common day man,
A B E A
Hey, what if God wrote down our sins,
E
And put them on a sign,
A B E
And wrapped them up in neon lights,
A B
So we could see then as we drove by,
A E A
Do you think we might just get the picture,
B
Do you think you'd understand,
E A B A
It's just this heart of clay that makes me,
E
A common day man,
A E
Common day man, knocking on the same doors,
A E
Common day man, sweeping up the same floors,
A F#m B
Common day man, you always know where you stand,
E
With a common day man,
G#m
In the highest hall of judgement,
A B E
There are lies and bigotry,
G#m
Don't believe a thing they tell you,
A B
And only half of what you see,
G#m
You can say these aren't our sins,
A B E
There's no blood on my hands,
A E
But talk is cheap, and so is life,
A B A E
If no one gives a damn,
A B E A
Take away my foolish pride,
E
And darling take my hand,
A B E
I know girl, you've been crucified,
A B
And had your love spilled on the land,
A E
Could I restore your faith in me,
A B
And show you the kind of man I am, oh,
E A B E A
It's just this heart of clay that makes me,
E
A common day man,
Chorus:
A E
Common day man, knocking on the same doors,
A E
Common day man, sweeping up the same floors,
A F#m B
Common day man, you always know where you stand, yeah, yeah,
E A E A B E A E
With a common day man, yeah, yeah, yeah.
