Everybody Knows
Leonard Cohen
Am E Am Am
Everybody Amknows that the dice are loaded
Everybody Frolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody Amknows the war is over
Everybody Fknows that the good guys lost
Everybody Dmknows the fight was Efixed
The poor stay Gpoor, the rich get Amrich
That's how it A#goes EEverybody knoAmws
Everybody Amknows that the boat is leaking
Everybody Fknows that the captain lied
Everybody Amgot this broken feeling
Like their Ffather or their dog just died
Everybody Dmtalking to their pocEkets
Everybody Gwants a box of Amchocolates
And a long stem A#rose. EEverybody knoAmws
Everybody Amknows that you love me, baby
Everybody Fknows that you really do
Everybody Amknows that you've been faithful
Give or Ftake a night or two
Everybody Dmknows you've been discrEeet
But there were so many Gpeople you just had to meetAm
Without your A#clothes EAnd everybody knowsAm
Everybody Cknows, everybody Gknows
That's how things goesAm GEverybody Cknows
Everybody Cknows, everybody Gknows
That's how things goes
Am G C Am

And everybody Amknows that it's now or never
Everybody Fknows that it's me or you
And everybody Amknows that you live forever
When you've Fdone a line or two
Everybody Dmknows the deal is Erotten
Old black GJoe's still picking Amcotton
For your ribbon and A#bows EAnd everybody knowsAm
Everybody Amknows the plague is coming
Everybody Fknows that it's moving fast
Everybody Amknows that your naked man and woman
Are just a Fshining artifact of the past
Everybody Dmknows the scene is Edead
But there's gonna be a Gmeter on your Ambed
Which will discloA#se EWhat everybody knowAms
Am F Am F Dm E G Am A# E Am
And everybody Amknows that you're in trouble
Everybody Fknows what you've been through
From the bloody Amcross on top of Calvary
To the Fbeach of Malibu
Everybody Dmknows it's coming apaErt
Take one last Glook at this sacred heaAmrt
before it A#blows EAnd everybody knowsAm
Everybody Cknows, everybody Gknows

Everybody Cknows, everybody Gknows
That's how it AmgoesG Everybody Cknows
