Hey guys. This is one of the only song's that I like off of John Legend's new CD,
so i decided to figure out the chords. Great song from an amazing song writer. I play this on
uke, so just play with the voicing on guitar chords to fit your liking.
*Note: The D# chord voicing can be altered to your preference, i just put what i play.
Everybody Knows
John Legend
Intro:
Ab, Cm7, C#, Fm
Verse:
It gets harder every day, but I can't seem to shake the pain
I'm trying to find the words to say, please stay
It's written all over my face, I can't
Function the same when you're not here
I'm calling your name and no one's there
C# Eb_high Ab
And I hope one day you'll see nobody has it easy,
I still can't believe you found somebody new
Eb_high
But I wish you the best, I guess.
Chorus:
'Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows
Fm Eb_low
How to make it work or how to ease the hurt
We've heard it all before, that everybody knows
Fm Eb_low Bbm Fm
How to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try (try)
One more try (try)
One more try
Eb_low Ab
'Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows
-Intro chords
Verse 2:
I don’t care what people say, they’re probably lonely anyway
Baby don’t fill up your head, with he said, she said
It seems like you just don’t know, (don’t know)
The radios on, you tuning me out
I’m trying to speak, you’re turning me down
C# Eb_high Ab
And I know one day you'll see nobody has it easy,
I still can't believe you found somebody new
Eb_high
But I wish you the best, I guess
Chorus:
'Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows
Fm Eb_low
How to make it work, or how to ease the hurt
We've heard it all before, that everybody knows
Fm Eb_low Bbm Fm
How to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try (try)
One more try (try)
One more try
Eb_low Ab
'Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows
Bridge:
Oh I wish you'd understand
Bdim Eb_high
Oh, just an ordinary man
Wish that we'd have known
Eb_high
Everybody knows, but nobody really knows
C# Eb_high Ab
And I know one day you'll see, nobody has it easy
I still can't believe you found somebody new
Eb_low
I wish you the best, I guess.
Chorus:
'Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows
Fm Eb_low
How to make it work, or how to ease the hurt
We've heard it all before, that everybody knows
Fm Eb_low Bbm Fm
How to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try (try)
One more try (try)
One more try
Eb_low Ab
'Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows
