[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]I have dreamed a dream,
there a common man
[Em]Ah, hoping to rise to the
[Asus4]top[G][D]
I have sworn by my blood as your man,
my love
That [Em]one day, I promise
[G]One day[Em] your hurting would sto[G]p

[Verse 2]
But I'll [D]never never never never [F#m]change
I never [G]change one single [Gm]grain of sand
[G]Oh, [D]thanks to you baby
[G]For just loving a com[D]mon man
I want to thank you this evening
[F#m]Oh,

[Verse 3]
I [A]thought,
I [F#m]thought that I failed you so
[Em]But that's when you turn around
and look me in my eye[G]s
[Em]And you let me know
You [G]said [D]and you said it [G]softly
I didn't have [D]to worry about
being a common man
[G]You said, "David,
you don't have to worry about rising to the top"
You [D]said, you said,
you said I didn't have to swear by my [G]blood

[Verse 4]
But ah [G]baby,
that one day your heartaches would stop
[D]Then you put your arms
around me and you said
[F#m]You never never never never cared[G]
If I never [Gm]change one single grain of sand
You said, [D]"I love you, [Em]baby
[D]I l[G]ove you for just being[D]
a common man"
[G]

[Verse 5]

Oh for my [D]gratitude,
