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

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)

One more try (try)
Bbm
One more try

'Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows

The radios on, you tuning me out
