Verse: Dm Nobody knows everything C We know this to be true A#FC Everything is difficult except what’s in front of you DmC But it’s complicated even under your nose A# Bullshit math equations FC Your highs and your lows Dm And your manic depression C It comes and it goes A# Your parasympathetic nervous system reacts FC And you’re in fight or flight mode
Verse DmC How’s the world so small when the world is so large A# And what made the world FC Could I please speak to who’s in charge Dm Everything is real C But it’s also just as fake A# From your daughter’s birthday party FC To your grandmother’s wake Dm And your bipolar illness C It comes and it goes A# Your parasympathetic nervous system reacts FC And you’re in fight or flight FA# And you’re in fight or flight FC And you’re in fight or flight mode
Verse DmC I’ve tried to know which words to sing so many times A# And I've tried to know which chord to play FC And I've tried to make it rhyme DmC And I've tried to find the key that all good songs are in A#FC And I've tried to find that notes to make that great resounding din Dm But there’s a bad man in everyone C No matter who we are A#FC There’s a rapist and a Nazi living in our tiny hearts DmC Child pornographers and cannibals and politicians too A#FC There’s someone in your head waiting to fucking strangle you
Dm So here’s to you Mrs Robinson F People love you more DmC Oh nevermind oh nevermind Dm In fucking fact Mrs Robinson FDmC The world won’t care whether you live or die live or die Dm In fucking fact Mrs Robinson FDmC They probably hate to see your stupid face your stupid face Dm So here’s to you Mrs Robinson FDm, F, C, A# You live in an unforgiving place
