Intro: Am, C, G, F (use your "pinky finger" for each chord; listen to the song)
Am, C, G, F (hold on F for 8 measures second time)

Verse: (Note:don't do the "pinky thing" for the singing parts)

Am
Nobody knows everything
G

We know this to be true
F
Everything is difficult
C G
Except what's in front of you
Am G
But it's complicated even under your nose
F
Bullshit math equations
C G
And your highs and your lows
Am
And your manic depression
G
It comes and it goes
F
Your parasympathetic nervous system reacts
C G
And you're in fight-or-flight mode

Am, C, G, F (Note: "pinky thing")
Am, C, G, F (hold F for 4 measures second time)

Verse: (same chords as 1st verse)

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


Am, C, G, F (Note: "pinky thing")
Am, C, G, F (hold on F for 8 measures second time)

Verse: (same chords as 1st verse)

Am G
I've tried to know which words to sing so many times
F
And I've tried to know which chords to play
C G
And I've tried to make it rhyme
Am G
And I've tried to find the key that all good songs are in
F C G
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
F C G
There's a rapist and a Nazi living in our tiny hearts
Am G
Child pornographers and cannibals, and politicians too
F C G
There's someone in your head waiting to fucking strangle you

Am
So here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
C Am G
People love you more, oh never mind, oh never mind
Am
In fucking fact, Mrs. Robinson
C Am G
The world won't care whether you live or die, live or die
Am
In fucking fact, Mrs. Robinson,
C Am G
They probably hate to see your stupid face, your stupid face
Am
So here's to you, Mrs. Robinson,
C Am, C, G, F
You live in an unforgiving place.

Am, C, G, F (hold F for 8 measures 2nd time)
(Note: "pinky thing")
