Everybody Knows

Te[G]ll me now if you came sne[D]aking up behind
[Em]Would you know me and [C]see behind the smile?
[G]I can change like col[D]ors on a wall
H[Em]oping no-one else will find what [C]lies beneath it all

[C]I think I hide it oh so well

-
[G]Stepping out, everyone can see my fa[C]ce
All the things I c[G]an’t erase
From my li[D]fe
Everybody kn[C]ows
[G]Standing out so you won’t forget my n[C]ame
That’s the way we play this[G] game
Of l[D]ife
Everybody k[C]nows

Looking through the crowd I search for something else
But every time I turn around I run into myself
Here I stand consumed with my surroundings
Just another day of everybody looking

I s[C]wore they’d never [D]see me cry
They’d ne[C]ver see me c[D]ry

-

You say I’ll pay the price
That’s a chance that I’ll take
Though you may think I’m telling lies

But I just call it getting by

-

Everybody knows (everybody knows)
I’m just barely getting by (everybody knows)
