Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands Lyrics
This is one of my favorite Elliott Smith songs, but there were no tabs for it on
UG so I figured it out myself. This is my first ever tab submission so go easy on me.
Chords Used: Of course there's multiple ways to play these chords but these sound the best to me.

INTRO: Em
VERSE:
Everybody cares, everybody understands
Yes everybody cares about you
Yeah, and whether or not you want them to
It's a chemical embrace that kicks you in the head

VERSE:

Riff
Raining its guiding light upon everyone

Here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
Riff
Raining its guiding light upon everyone
BRIDGE:

Fucking oughta stay the hell away from things you know nothing about
CODA:
My favorite part of the song. I'll tab out the main guitar part but there's a few

First chords are the same as verse:
sweet guitar part at ~2:43
Then 3:08:
Then the rhythm guitar goes a little something like this (3:17):
And the last chord progression (3:40) is:

And thats about it...enjoy
