Everything to Everyone Lyrics

As recorded by Everclear on "So Much for the Afterglow"
Intro (Keyboard, played throughout song)
e: |---12----12----12----12-------------12----12----12----12------|
B: |-13---13----13----13----13-------13----13----13----13----13---|
Add this to play the intro like Steve Birch did live (97/98 SMFTA tour).
He plays the normal intro for a few bars and then gets into this:
e: |---12----12----12h13p12-------------12----12----12h13p12------|
B: |-13---13----13----------13-------13----13----13----------13---|
Verse/Chorus
C, F (8th Fret, A shape), A, D
F (1st Fret, E shape), G, A
(First verse is mostly just the bass playing the root notes)
You put yourself in stupid places
Yes I think you know it's true
Situations where it's easy
to look down on you
Think you like to be the victim
Think you like to be in pain
I think you make yourself a victim
almost every single day
You do what you do
You say what you say
You try to be everything to everyone
You know all the right people
You play all the right games
You always try to be everything to everyone
Ahhhhh - yeah you do it again
Ahhhhh - you always do it again
You say they taught you how to read and write
Yeah, they taught you how to count
I say they taught you how to buy and sell your own body by the pound
I think you like to be the simple toy
I think you love to be the clown
I think you were blind to the fact
that the hand you hold is the hand that holds you down
You do what you do
Yeah, you say what you say
You always try to be everything to everyone
You know all the right people
You play all the right games
You always try to be everything to everyone
Spin around and fall down - do it again
Yeah, you stumble and you fall - yeah I want you to learn
Spin around and fall down - do it again
Yeah you stumble and you.. fall - I wonder if you'll ever learn
e: |------------8------------|
B: |------5h6p5------5h6p5---|
G: |-/5-7---------5----------|
Yeah why won't you ever learn
C'mon now do that stupid dance for me
(start doing the C F A D thing again)
"C'mon, C'mon dance" X 4
Oh, yeah
You do what they tell you to
You say what they say
You try to be everything to everyone
Yeah, you jump through the big hoop
You play all the right games
You try to be everything to everyone
Spin around and fall down - do it again
You stumble and you fall - yeah you do it again
Spin around and fall down - do it again
You stumble and you.. fall
