Common Sense
Capo:no capo
Tuning: Standard
[Intro]
G Am D G
[Verse 1]
G
You can't live together
Am
You can't live alone
D
Considering the weather
G
Oh my, how you've grown
G
From the men in the factories
Am
To the wild kangaroo
D
Like those birds of a feather
They're gathering together
G
And feeling exactly like you
[Chorus]
G
They got mesmerized by lullabies
C
And limbo danced in pairs
Am D
Please lock that door
It don't make much sense
That common sense
G
Don't make no sense no more
[Bridge]
C D G
Just between you and me
C G
It's like pulling
D G
When you ought to be shovin,
C G D G
Like a nun with her head in the oven
C G
Please don't tell me
D G
That this really wasn't nothing
[Instrumental]
G Am D G
[Verse 2]
G
One of these days
Am
One of these nights
D
You'll take off your hat
And they'll read you
G
Your rights
G
You'll wanna get high
Am
Every time you feel low
D
Hey, Queen Isabella
Stay away from that fella
He'll just get you
G
Into trouble, you know?
[Verse 3]
G
But they came here by boat
Am
And they came here by plane
D
They blistered their hands
G
And they burned out their brain
G
All dreaming a dream
Am
That'll never come true
D
Hey, don't give me no trouble
Or I'll call up my double
We'll play piggy-in-the-middle
G
With you
[Chorus]
G
You'll get mesmerized by allibies
C
And limbo danced in pairs
Am D
Please lock that door
D
It don't make much sense
D
That common sense
G
Don't make no sense no more
D
It don't make much sense
D
That common sense
G
Don't make no sense no more
