Everybody’s Normal

E D C# E D A
I worked with a girl, as quiet as can be, E D C# E D A
Until that night at the staff party.
A In all the years we knew her, hardly spoke to anyone.
We thought it would be good if she came out and had some fun. E D C# E D A
Now she’s B7 twerking on a table with her shirt in her hand.
First E party she came to and she got herself banned. E D C# E F# G G#
Chorus:
A A little bit of distance can take you pretty far G
E ‘Cause when you get too close, you see the mess we all are. E D C# E D A
A Closer you get, there’s a lot of things you’ll B7 show ‘em ‘cause
E Everybody’s normal ‘til you get to know ‘em. D E D C# E D A

I got a friend seemed a pretty straight up guy E D C# E D A

Until we worked our way through half a bottle of rye.
A He said the world is run by reptilian shape-shifters,
If you look on-line, you can see all the pictures. E D C# E D A
I said B7 “brother, you must be shittin’ me”,
He E looked me in the eye and said “You just wait and see”. D E D C# E F# G G#

A A little bit of distance can take you pretty far G

E ‘Cause when you get too close, you see the mess we all are. E D C# E D A
A Closer you get, there’s a lot of things you’ll B7 show ‘em ‘cause
E Everybody’s normal ‘til you get to know ‘em. D E D C# Drop: E D C# C

B7 Phobias and fixations, delusions and fears

D Often exposed with A 3 or more beers
B7 Inside someone’s head, there’s a lot of crossed wires
We D pretend they don’t A exist, like patholo G gical E liars

You know that secret thing that you’ll never tell? E D C# E D A

Or the one your folks said would send you straight to Hell.
A Sometimes I’m thankful we all have doors
It’s like our elevators all miss a few floors. E D C# G F# F E
B7 So next time you look at someone and wonder what to say
A Capella: E They might be lookin’ back at you the very same way. E D C#
E F# G G#
A A little bit of distance can take you pretty far G
E ‘Cause when you get too close, you see the mess we all are. E D C# E D A
A Closer you get, there’s a lot of things you’ll B7 show ‘em ‘cause
E Everybody’s normal ‘til you get to know ‘em. D E D C# E D A
Everybody’s normal ‘til you get to know ‘em.
Everybody’s normal ‘til you get to know ‘em.
