[Intro]
[C5] [D5]
[Verse 1]
[D5]I could [G5]tell you a story of [C5]shame
I could [D5]talk for hours on [G5]how we became
A flower that bloomed in [C5]one day.
The [D5]next day our glory [G5]faded away.
Divided by hostili[C5]ties,
[D5]Hung up on issues, [G5]we disagree.
A body that's been [G/B]torn apart[C5].
[D5]We're still a body with a [G5]healthy heart.
[Chorus]
[G5]People like [Em7]me, persons like [Cadd9]you.
We want to [Dsus2]be, closer to [G5]God.
Closer to [B7]free.
[C]All you [Dsus2]people like me[C5].[D5]
[Verse 2]
[G5]What do you think when you [C5]see
[D5]Continuous losers the [G5]people like me?
I hope you never [C5]believe
[D5]Just for a moment you're [G5]better than me.
The truth is that we are the [C5]same.
[D5]All different people but [G5]only one name.
I hope that you [G/B]will [C5]agree
[D5]That all of you are [G5]people like me.
