John Legend - Everybody Knows Chords

[intro]
Ab Cm7 Db Fm

[verse]
Ab
It gets harder every day,
Cm7
but I can't seem to shake the pain
Ab                              Cm7
I'm trying to find the words to say,
please stay
Ab                       Cm7
It's written all over my face, I can't
Db
Function the same when you're not here
    Fm
I'm calling your name and no one's there
Db                 Eb
And I hope one day you'll see
              Ab
nobody has it easy,
              Cm7
I still can't believe
                   Db
you found somebody new
                   Eb
But I wish you the best, I guess.

[chorus]
Ab               Cm7
'Cause everybody knows,
                   Db
that nobody really knows
               Fm
How to make it work

or how to ease the hurt
Ab                 Cm7
We've heard it all before,
               Db
that everybody knows
               Fm
How to make it right,
          Eb          Bbm       Fm
I wish we gave it one more try (try)
         Ab   Cm7
One more try (try)
         Bbm
One more try
                 Eb
'Cause everybody knows,

but nobody really knows

[instrumental]

I don’t care what people say,
                        Ab
they’re probably lonely anyway
                        Cm7
Baby don’t fill up your head,
              Ab
with he said, she said
                          Cm7
It seems like you just don’t know,
(don’t know)
Db
The radios on, you tuning me out
    Fm
I’m trying to speak,you’re turning me down
Db                 Eb
And I know one day you'll see
              Ab
