Everybody Knows

Everybody Knows – Leonard Cohen

Intro: Dm A Dm Dm

Everybody [Em] knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody [C] rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody [Em] knows the war is over
Everybody [C] knows the good guys lost
Everybody [Am] knows that the fight was [B] fixed
The poor stay [D] poor, the rich get [Em] rich
That's how it [F] goes [B]
Everybody [Em] knows

Everybody [Em] knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody [C] knows that the captain lied
Everybody  [Em] got this broken feeling
Like their [C] father or their dog just died

Everybody [Am]  talking to their [B] pockets
Everybody [D] wants a box of [Em] chocolates
And a long stem [F] rose [B]
Everybody [Em]  knows

Everybody [Em] knows that you love me baby
Everybody [C] knows that you really do
Everybody [Em] knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or [C] take a night or two
Everybody [Am] knows you've been [B] discreet
But there were so many [D] people you just had to [Em] meet
Without your [F] clothes [B]
And everybody [Em] knows

Everybody [G] knows, everybody [D] knows
That's how it [Em] goes [D]
[C] Everybody [G] knows

Everybody [G] knows, everybody [D] knows
That's how it [Em] goes [D]
[C] Everybody [G] knows [Em]

And everybody [Em] knows that it's now or never
Everybody [C] knows that it's me or you
And everybody [Em] knows that you live forever
Ah when you've [C] done a line or two
Everybody [Am] knows the deal is [B] rotten
Old Black [D] Joe's still pickin' [Em] cotton
For your ribbons and [F] bows [B]
And everybody [Em] knows

And everybody [Em] knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody [C] knows that it's moving fast
Everybody [Em] knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a [C] shining artifact of the past
Everybody [Am] knows the scene is [B] dead
But there's gonna be a [D] meter on your [Em] bed
That will dis[F]close [B]
What everybody [Em] knows

And everybody [Em] knows that you're in trouble
Everybody [C] knows what you've been through
From the bloody [Em] cross on top of Calvary
To the beach [C] of Malibu
Everybody [Am] knows it's coming [B] apart
Take one last [D] look at this Sacred [Em] Heart
Before it [F] blows
And everybody [Em] knows

Everybody [G] knows, everybody [D] knows
That's how it [Em] goes [D]
[C] Everybody [G] knows

Everybody [G] knows, everybody [D] knows
That's how it [Em] goes [D]
[Bb] Everybody [F] knows [Dm]
