Hey guys. This is one of the only song's that I like off of John Legend's new CD, 
so i decided to figure out the chords. Great song from an amazing song writer. I play this on 
uke, so just play with the voicing on guitar chords to fit your liking.

*Note: The D# chord voicing can be altered to your preference, i just put what i play.


Everybody Knows
John Legend

Intro:
Ab, Cm7, C#, Fm

Verse:
Ab                   Cm7                                Ab
It gets harder every day, but I can't seem to shake the pain
                                Cm7
I'm trying to find the words to say, please stay
Ab                       Cm7
It's written all over my face, I can't
C#
Function the same when you're not here
    Fm
I'm calling your name and no one's there
C#                 Eb_high                  Ab
And I hope one day you'll see nobody has it easy,
              Cm7                        C#
I still can't believe you found somebody new
                   Eb_high
But I wish you the best, I guess.

Chorus:
Ab               Cm7                       C#
'Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows
               Fm       Eb_low
How to make it work or how to ease the hurt
Ab                 Cm7                    C#
We've heard it all before, that everybody knows
               Fm               Eb_low           Bbm   Fm
How to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try (try)
         Ab   Cm7
One more try (try)
         Bbm
One more try
                 Eb_low                   Ab
'Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows

I don’t care what people say, they’re probably lonely anyway
                        Cm7                 Ab
Baby don’t fill up your head, with he said, she said
                          Cm7
It seems like you just don’t know, (don’t know)

The radios on, you tuning me out
    Fm
I’m trying to speak, you’re turning me down
