-ANDREW JACKSON JIHAD:PEOPLE 2 THE RECKONING

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")
