The People I Know


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 Ab 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 Ab 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
