Everybody's Problem
(Jarvis Cocker)
Intro
G (bad drum roll)
G Am F Em
Verse
G
Standing there before you
Defences thrown aside
Am
I thought I heard you laughing
F Em
But when I asked you said you'd cried
G
I wanted to believe you
Yes I wanted to feel strong
Am
But looking at my picture
F Em
I realised I must be wrong
Chorus
C
Sounds so weak
Am
It sounds so fey
Em
It doesn't sound
D A
Like what I meant to say
C
I speak to you
Am
With a borrowed tongue
Em
Shall I stop right now
D A
Or blindly carry on?
It's everybody's problem
But I'm not everyone
I only have one viewpoint
Don't talk to me of right or wrong
And didn't I often tell you
Oh didn't I often say
There's something in your manner
That really takes my breath away?
Chorus
It's not weak
To show I care
I know of those
Who wouldn't even dare
The fact remains
I feel a need -
Is it love
Or is it simply greed?
It's not weak
To show I care
I know of those
Who wouldn't even dare
The fact remains
I feel a need -
Is it love
Or is it simply greed?
You choose what you believe in
As far as I'm concerned
But one thing I can tell you
Is innocence cannot be learned
I wish you'd stop me talking
Oh, I wish you'd shut my mouth
Well the reason why I tell you
Is I think that you could help me out
F Em
And if you do then there's no doubt
F
That all my problems
G
Won't just fly away
