Everybody Knows
Leonard Cohen

Dm / Bb    Dm / Bb    Gm A / C Dm    Eb / A Dm
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded / Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over / Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed / The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
Thats how it goes / Everybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking / Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling / Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets / Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose / Everybody knows

Everybody knows that you love me baby / Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that youve been faithful / Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows youve been discreet / But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes / And everybody knows

F C Dm C Bb F (X2)
Everybody knows, everybody knows Thats how it goes Everybody knows (X2)

And everybody knows that its now or never / Everybody knows that its me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever / Ah when youve done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten / Old black joes still pickin cotton
For your ribbons and bows / And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the plague is coming / Everybody knows that its moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman / Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead / But theres gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose / What everybody knows

And everybody knows that youre in trouble / Everybody knows what youve been through
From the bloody cross on top of calvary / To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows its coming apart / Take one last look at this sacred heart
Before it blows / And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows Thats how it goes Everybody knows (X2)
