Everybody Loves You Now Chords & Lyrics by Billy Joel
Everybody Loves You Now
guitar chords lyrics
This song is originally from Billy's first solo album, Cold Spring Harbor, released
November 1971. A fantastic live version of this song is on Songs In The Attic, Billy Joel's
first live album, which was recorded in June - July 1980 during the Glass Houses tour
and was released September 10, 1981. Songs In The Attic features songs from Cold Spring
Harbor in a better form, since Billy's first album was sped up in studio and he "sounded
like a chipmunk." He wasn't happy with the sound of the album, so Songs In The Attic
was a way to make it better and sound more raw and personal.
Intro:
C F x4
C Dm
Baby all the lights are turned on you
F C
Now you're in the center of the stage
C Dm
Everything revolves on what you do
F C
Ah, you are in your prime; you've come of age
Dm F G
And you can always have your way somehow
F G C
But everybody loves you now
[Intro]
C Dm
You can walk away from your mistakes
F C
You can turn your back on what you do
C Dm
Just a little smile is all it takes
F C
Yeah, you can have your cake and eat it too
Dm F G
Loneliness will get to you somehow
F G C
But everybody loves you now
Bb F C
Ah, they all want your white body
Bb F C
And they await your reply
Bb F C C (B)
Am
Ah, but between you and me and the Staten Island ferry
G F#dim Fm
So do I
C Dm
All the people want to know your name
F C
Soon there will be lines outside your door
C Dm
Feelings do not matter in your game
F C
Yeah, 'cause nothing's gonna touch you anymore
Dm F G
So your life is only living anyhow
F G C
And everybody loves you now
C Dm
Close your eyes when you don't want to see
F C
Stay at home when you don't want to go
C Dm
Only speak to those who will agree
F C
Yeah, and close your mind when you don't want to know
Dm F G
You have lost you innocence somehow
F C
But everybody loves you now
Bb F C
Ah, you know that nothing lasts forever
Bb F C
And it's all been done before
Bb F C Am
Ah, but you ain't got the time to go to Cold Spring Harbor
G F#dim Fm
No more
C Dm
See how all the people gather 'round
F C
Hey, isn't it a thrill to see them crawl?
C Dm
Keep your eyes ahead and don't look down
F C
Yeah, and lock yourself inside your sacred wall
Dm F G
This is what you wanted; ain't you proud?
F G C
'Cause everybody loves you now
This is a very fun song to play, just like all of Billy Joel's songs. The man's a hit-maker.
Stay groovy and keep on rockin'.
