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
[G#], [Cm7], [C#], [Fm]
Verse
[G#] [Cm7] [G#]
It gets harder every day, but I can't seem to shake the pain
[Cm7]
I'm trying to find the words to say, please stay
[G#] [Cm7]
It's written all over my face, I can't
[C#]
Function the same when you're not here
[Fm]
I'm calling your name and no one's there
[C#] [D#]_high [G#]
And I hope one day you'll see nobody has it easy,
[Cm7] [C#]
I still can't believe you found somebody new
[D#]_high
But I wish you the best, I guess.
Chorus
[G#] [Cm7] [C#]
'Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows
[Fm] [D#]_low
How to make it work or how to ease the hurt
[G#] [Cm7] [C#]
We've heard it all before, that everybody knows
[Fm] [D#]_low [Bbm] [Fm]
How to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try (try)
[G#] [Cm7]
One more try (try)
[Bbm]
One more try
[D#]_low [G#]
'Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows
