Everybody Knows
Leonard Cohen
C#m G# C#m C#m
Everybody C#mknows that the dice are loaded
Everybody Arolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody C#mknows the war is over
Everybody Aknows that the good guys lost
Everybody F#mknows the fight was G#fixed
The poor stay Hpoor, the rich get C#mrich
That's how it Dgoes G#Everybody knoC#mws
Everybody C#mknows that the boat is leaking
Everybody Aknows that the captain lied
Everybody C#mgot this broken feeling
Like their Afather or their dog just died
Everybody F#mtalking to their pocG#kets
Everybody Hwants a box of C#mchocolates
And a long stem Drose. G#Everybody knoC#mws
Everybody C#mknows that you love me, baby
Everybody Aknows that you really do
Everybody C#mknows that you've been faithful
Give or Atake a night or two
Everybody F#mknows you've been discrG#eet
But there were so many Hpeople you just had to meetC#m
Without your Dclothes G#And everybody knowsC#m

And everybody C#mknows that it's now or never
Everybody Aknows that it's me or you
And everybody C#mknows that you live forever
When you've Adone a line or two
Everybody F#mknows the deal is G#rotten
Old black HJoe's still picking C#mcotton
For your ribbon and Dbows G#And everybody knowsC#m
Everybody C#mknows the plague is coming
Everybody Aknows that it's moving fast
Everybody C#mknows that your naked man and woman
