People II: The Reckoning

Intro

Bm  D  A  G
        Bm  D  A  G
Bm
Nobody knows everything
       A
We know this to be true
G
Everything is difficult
            D             A
Except what's in front of you
Bm                                    A
But it's complicated even under your nose
G
Bullshit math equations
         D               A
And your highs and your lows
         Bm
And your manic depression
    A
It comes and it goes
         G
Your parasympathetic nervous system reacts
        D      A
And you're in fight-or-flight mode
( Bm  D  A  G )
( Bm  D  A  G )
 Bm                                        A
How's the world so small when the world is so large?
 G                                       D                  A
And what made the world, could I please speak to who's in charge?
 Bm                           A
Everything is real but it's also just as fake
  G                                            D          A
From your daughter's birthday party to your grandmother's wake
 Bm                        A
And your bi-polar illness, it comes and it goes
            G
Your parasympathetic nervous system reacts
     D          A
And you're in fight or flight
   D             G
You're in fight or flight
    D            A
You're in fight or flight mode
( Bm  D  A  G )
( Bm  D  A  G )
Bm                                     A
I've tried to know which words to sing so many times
   G
And I've tried to know which chords to play
 D                         A
And I've tried to make it rhyme
   Bm                                A
And I've tried to find the key that all good songs are in
G                                                     D          A
And I've tried to find the notes to make that great resounding din
Bm
But there's a bad man in everyone
 A
No matter who we are
G                                  D              A
There's a rapist and a Nazi living in our tiny hearts
  Bm                                A
Child pornographers and cannibals, and politicians too
 G                                        D       A
There's someone in your head waiting to fucking strangle you
Bm
So here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
 D                             Bm             A
People love you more, oh never mind, oh never mind
             Bm
In fucking fact, Mrs. Robinson
        D                                Bm           A
The world won't care whether you live or die, live or die
             Bm
In fucking fact, Mrs. Robinson
          D                           Bm                A
They probably hate to see your stupid face, your stupid face
              Bm
So here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
D                          Bm  D  A  G
You live in an unforgiving place
( Bm  D  A  G )
