Everybody Knows chords by Leonard Cohen

Everybody Knows
Music and Lyrics by Leonard Cohen




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

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

					½ Chorus
	 C#                                   G#                                           Bbm
Everybody knows. Everybody knows. That's how it goes.
      G#		          C#
              Everybody  knows.

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

	Ebm	                       F
Everybody   knows you've been discret,
		G#				  Bbm
But there were so many people you just had to meet
	C                   F		               Bbm
without your   clothes.      And everybody knows.


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