You have to listen to the song get the rhythm, especially on the chorus which
has a quick 1-2 change on the C-C/G7 chords.
Cm (continous strum all through verse)
The average man is 35 years old
And he owns a car but he dreams of a better one
He's overweight but he's working on losing some
The average man of the street is mad on Street
And he will fall in love at least 2 times in his life
And he will be unfaithful at least 3 times
He loves his wife but he sometimes dreams of a better one
Go-go, the average man, go-go

rest of the lyrics:
The average man will spend 3 hours
Watching moving images on TV ev'ryday
He spends £20 a week on drinkin' and cigarettes
But ev'ry man says he will give up one day
And he is unhappy with his general appearance
And will spend over 3000 hours shaving in the mirror
He has a face but he sometimes dreams of a better one
Go-go, the average man, go-go
What are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man?
The average man is living for tomorrow
He cared to face the limitations today
Works hard on 326 days of the year
For a 2 week holiday
I saw on TV bout this man from oldly Birmingham
Ev'ryday he works 17 hours
One day he'll come home and shoot both children
And the neighbours said he was an average man
What are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man?
Go-go, the average man
What are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man? ....
Ain't nothin' average about me, man
