Talking Heads - People Like Us: chords

G     Bm            C  D
In 1950 when I was born
G                Bm             C  D
Papa couldn't afford to buy us much
F           A#                F  C
He said be proud of what you are
D                   A                       G
There's something special 'bout people like us

Chorus:
Em          G
People like us
C                  A      C
Who will answer the telephone
Em          G
People like us
C                 D
Growing big as a house
Em          G
People like us
C                D
Gonna make it because

    C     Bm   G      C G
We don't want freedom
    C     Bm   G      C G
We don't want justice
    C    Bm A    C  D
We just wa-a-a-ant someone to love

I was called upon in the 3rd grade class
I gave my answer and it caused a fuss
I'm not the same as ev'ryone else
And times were hard for people like us

Chorus

G Bm C D
       Someone to love
G Bm C D
       Well now

C             G
What good is freedom?
G              A          C
God laughs at people like us
C         G
I see it coming
A                    C          D
Like a light coming down from above

The clouds roll by and the moon comes up
How long must we live in the heat of the sun
Millions of people are waitin' on love
And this is a song about people like us

Chorus:
People like us
Who will answer the telephone
People like us
Growing big as a house
People like us
Gonna make it because
We don't want freedom
We don't want justice
We just want someone to love

Someone to love
Someone to love, hey-hey-hey
Someone to love
