Common Sense
John Prine
Intro:
[G] [C] [D] [G]
Y[G]ou can't live together
You can't live al[C]one
Co[D]nsidering the weather Oh, my, how you've gr[G]own
From the men in the factories
To the wild kangar[C]oo
Like those bi[D]rds of a feather
They're gathering together
And feeling exactly like y[G]ou
T[G]hey got mesmerized by lullabies
And limbo danced in pa[C]irs
Please lock that d[D]oor
It don't make much sense that common sense
Don't make no sense no mo[G]re.
Just b[C]etween y[D]ou and [G]me
It's li[C]ke... pu[G]lling when you ou[D]ght to be sho[G]vin'
L[C]ike........ a n[G]un with her he[D]ad in the o[G]ven
Pl[C]ease...... don't t[G]ell me that this rea[D]lly wasn't not[G]hing
Instrumental:
[G] [C] [D] [G]
[G]One of these days
One of these ni[C]ghts
Y[D]ou'll take off your hat
And they'll read you your rig[G]hts
You'll wanna get high
Everytime you feel l[C]ow
Hey, Qu[D]een Isabella
Stay away from that fella
He'll just get you into trouble, you k[G]now?
But t[G]hey came here by boats
And they came here by pl[C]ane
T[D]hey blistered their hands
And they burned out their br[G]ain
All dreaming a dream
That'll never come t[C]rue
Hey, don't g[D]ive me no trouble
Or I'll call up my double
We'll play piggy-in-the-middle with y[G]ou
Y[G]ou'll get mesmerized by alibis
And limbo dance in p[C]airs
Please lock that d[D]oor
It don't make much sense that common sense
Don't make no sense no m[G]ore.
It don't ma[D]ke much sense that common sense
Don't make no sense no m[G]ore.
