People Ii The Reckoning Tab

by Andrew Jackson Jihad


This is my favorite song by Andrew Jackson Jihad, and it's very easy to play.
 Listen to the song for the rhythm and enjoy!



Intro:  , , ,  
           , , ,  (hold on F for 8 measures second time)

Verse:


Nobody knows everything 
       
We know this to be true 

Everything is difficult 
                         
Except what's in front of you 
                                    
But it's complicated even under your nose 

Bullshit math equations 
                        
And your highs and your lows 
         
And your manic depression 
    
It comes and it goes 
         
Your parasympathetic nervous system reacts 
              
And you're in fight-or-flight mode

Am, C, G, F (hold F for 4 measures second time) 

Verse: (same chords as 1st verse) 

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

Verse: (same chords as 1st verse)

I've tried to know which words to sing so many times 
And I've tried to know which chords to play 
And I've tried to make it rhyme 
And I've tried to find the key that all good songs are in 
And I've tried to find the notes to make that great resounding din 
But there's a bad man in everyone 
No matter who we are 
There's a rapist and a Nazi living in our tiny hearts 
Child pornographers and cannibals, and politicians too 
There's someone in your head waiting to fucking strangle you 


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