the people i know
by eric hutchinson
tabbed by patrick riordan
okay , so as of posting this tab ( 10/26/2010 ) this song has
not been officially recorded , nor has officially been selected for eric’s
next album . it’s possible that , even if it is selected , some parts of the
song will be changed . this tab exists purely because i watch way too many
live performances of eric hutchinson and freaking love this song .
basic chords :
verse – A B E c#min
pre – chorus – f#min G# A B
chorus – E c#min A E
bridge – f#min A C# E
verse 1 :
A B
i’ve got a best friend who i’ve known some time
E c#min
and after all of these years i’ve got to read his mind
A B
and when he leaves the room i can feel him sigh
E c#min
as his thoughts they slip out like whispers
A B
who would’ve know it’d be this hard to wait
E c#min
for one person to person to communicate
A B
and it never feels dramatic while we complicate
E c#min
thank god for old friends they always forgive us
pre – chorus :
f#min
i’m longing for the house remembering all these days
G#
never done enough , everything feels great
A B
if i Am not myself , then who Am i pretending to be
( chorus )
E c#min
and i said how Am i gonna get by
A E
without the help of the people i know
E c#min
for better or worse we all come together
A E
and they won’t let me die alone
verse 2 :
and i’ve got a sister who i barely see
despite the fact the lives right up the block from me
and when we run in to each other on the street
it’s like two strangers soul to soul
when i was younger she was younger too
it seems the space is the only thing that really grew
and now we’re both grown up and still without a clue
thank god for family they always forgive us
pre – chorus
i’m thinking of the house where we were always raised
and every family tree some history remains
if i Am not myself , then who Am i pretending to be
( chorus )
and i said how Am i gonna get by
without the help of the people i know
for better or worse we all come together
and they won’t let me die alone
i said they won’t let me die alone
bridge :
f#min A C# E
maybe i’m not supposed to be close
f#min A C# E B
to all of the people i need the most need ( the most )
chorus :
and i said
how Am i gonna get by
without the help of the people i know
for better or worse we all come together
and they won’t let me die alone
i said now
how Am i gonna get by
when i’m afraid of the people i know
for better or worse we all come together
and they won’t let me die alone
i said they won’t let me die alone
i said they won’t let me die alone
i said they won’t let me die alone
