Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Tell me now if you came sneaking up behind
Would you know me and see behind the smile?
I can change like colors on a wall
Hoping no-one else will find what lies beneath it all
I think I hide it oh so well
Chorus
-
Stepping out, everyone can see my face
All the things I cant erase
From my life
Everybody knows
Standing out so you wont forget my name
Thats the way we play this game
Of life
Everybody knows
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 swore theyd never see me cry
Theyd never see me cry
Chorus
-
You say Ill pay the price
Thats a chance that Ill take
Though you may think Im telling lies
But I just call it getting by
Chorus
-
Everybody knows (everybody knows)
Im just barely getting by (everybody knows)
