Verse:
Am Nobody knows everything G We know this to be true F Everything is difficult CG Except what's in front of you AmG But it's complicated even under your nose F Bullshit math equations CG And your highs and your lows Am And your manic depression G It comes and it goes F Your parasympathetic nervous system reacts CG And you're in fight-or-flight mode

AmG How's the world so small when the world is so large FCG And what made the world could I please speak to who's in charge AmG Everything is real but it's also just as fake FCG From your daughter's birthday party to your grandmother's wake AmG And your bi-polar illness it comes and it goes F Your parasympathetic nervous system reacts CG And you're in fight or flight CF You're in fight or flight CG You're in fight or flight mode

Verse: (same chords as 1st verse)
AmG I've tried to know which words to sing so many times F And I've tried to know which chords to play CG And I've tried to make it rhyme AmG And I've tried to find the key that all good songs are in FCG And I've tried to find the notes to make that great resounding din Am But there's a bad man in everyone G No matter who we are FCG There's a rapist and a Nazi living in our tiny hearts AmG Child pornographers and cannibals and politicians too FCG There's someone in your head waiting to fucking strangle you
Am So here's to you Mrs Robinson CAmG People love you more oh never mind oh never mind Am In fucking fact Mrs Robinson CAmG The world won't care whether you live or die live or die Am In fucking fact Mrs Robinson CAmG They probably hate to see your stupid face your stupid face Am So here's to you Mrs Robinson CAm, C, G, F You live in an unforgiving place
