Everybody Knows
Music and Lyrics by Leonard Cohen



      BbmBbm
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded.
		F#F#
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed.
      BbmBbm
Everybody knows the war is over.
              F#F#
Everybody knows the good guys lost.
         EbmEbm                    FF
Everybody knows the fight was fixed:
  G#G#		          BbmBbm
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich.
  C majorC      FF			BbmBbm
That's how it goes.   Everybody  knows.

		BbmBbm
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking.
		F#F#
Everybody knows the captain lied.
		BbmBbm
Everybody got this broken feeling
	       F#F#
like their father or their dog just died.
	EbmEbm              FF
Everybody talking to their pockets.
		G#G#   			 BbmBbm
Everybody wants a box of choc'lates
	  C majorC	  FF	       BbmBbm
and a long stem  rose.   Everybody knows.

					½ Chorus

Everybody knows. Everybody knows. That's how it goes.
   G#G#		     C#C#
       Everybody knows.

		BbmBbm
Everybody knows that you love me, baby.
		F#F#
Everybody knows that you really do.
		BbmBbm
Everybody knows that you've been faithful,
              F#F#
Give or take a night or two

	EbmEbm	            FF
Everybody  knows you've been discret,
		G#G#				 BbmBbm
But there were so many people you just had to meet
	C majorC          FF		        BbmBbm
without your  clothes.   And everybody knows.

                   BbmBbm
And everybody knows that it's now or never.
		   F#F#
Everybody knows that's me or you.
		     BbmBbm
And everybody knows that you live forever
		  F#F#
when you've done a line or two.
	EbmEbm	 FF
Everybody knows the deal is rotten:
		G#G#			BbmBbm
Old black Joe's still picking cotton
                        C majorC     FF                BbmBbm
for your ribbon and bows. And everybody knows.

But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
   C majorC       FF                   BbmBbm

before it blows.        And everybody knows.
