Chords for Eric Hutchinson - The People I Know (Bing Lounge)

_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
I'm really looking forward to coming back here.
I played the Lounge a few years ago when my first album was out.
And I was working on new songs while I was traveling.
_ And this one was one of the ones I was working on.
Usually when I get an idea, I'll just sing it into my _ phone
or whatever and _ work on it later and get the ideas.
And this one I was kind of working on as I went.
And I'd put the phone up there and just record.
And actually, on this very piano,
[G#] I was working on one of the songs that
ended up on the album.
So I've been looking [F#] forward to coming back and getting
to play it here.
So this song is called, The People I Know.
And it was partially written right here
on this Dimeway and [A] Sons. _ _ _
[B] _ Yeah, I'm going to take a golf [E] clap. _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ [A] It's about trying to get close to those people in your [B] life
that you never just manage [E] to make it work.
And if you don't have [C#m] people like that,
that's the way people feel about [A] you. _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ It's called, The People I Know.
[C#m] _ _ _ _ [A] I got a best friend who [B] I've known some time.
_ After all of these years, [C#m] I got to read his mind.
And when [A] he leaves his [B] room, I can feel him sigh.
As his thoughts, they slip out [C#m] like whispers. _ _
[A] Who would have known it'd be [B] this hard to wait _ [E] for one
person to person [C#m] to communicate?
And it [A] never feels dramatic, but we [B] complicate.
Thank [E] God for old friends.
They [C#m] always forgive us.
_ [F#m] I'm longing for the days when I'm not so tense,
[G#m] when friends are only that, and everything makes sense.
[A] If I am not myself, then who am I pretending to [B] be?
E-E-E [E]-E.
And I said, I'm gonna get [C#m] by without [A] the help
of the people [E] I know.
_ _ For better or [C#m] worse, we all come together,
and [A] they won't let me die [E] alone.
_ _ [A] Said, they won't let me die [E] alone.
_ _ [A] And I got a sister [B] who I barely see,
despite the [E] fact that she lives right [C#m] up the block from me.
And when [A] we run into [B] each other on the street,
it's like two strangers, so [C#m] to say. _ _ _
[A] When I was younger, she was younger [B] too.
It [E] seems the space is the only thing that [C#m] really grew.
And [A] now we're both grown up and still [B] without a clue.
Thank [E] God for family.
They always forgive us.
[F#m] I'm longing for the house where we were always raised.
[G#m] In every family tree, some history [A] remains.
If I am not myself, then who am I pretending to [B] be?
E-E-E [E]-E.
And I said, how am I gonna get [C#m] by without [A] the help
of the people [E] I know?
_ _ For better or worse, we [C#m] all come together,
and [A] they won't let me die.
[E] _ _ _ [A] Said, they won't let me die [E] alone.
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _
Maybe [A] I'm not supposed to be [C#m] close _ _ _ _ to [F#m] _
_ all other [A] people.
I need them [C] _ most.
[D] Need them _ _ _ _ [E] most. _ _ _ _
And I said, how am I gonna get [C#m] by without [A] the help
of the people [E] I know? _
_ For better or worse, we [C#m] all come together,
and they won't let [B] me die alone.
I [E] said, now how am I gonna get by _ when [A] I'm afraid
of the people I know?
_ For better or worse, [C#m] we all come together,
and they won't let me die alone.
[E] _ _ Said, [A] they won't let me die alone.
[E] _ _ Said, [A] they won't let me die [E] alone.
_ _ [A] Said, they won't let me [E] die alone.
