Leonard Cohen
Everybody Knows

          Dm
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
         Bb
Eveybody rolls with their fingers crossed
          Dm
Everybody knows that the war is over
          Bb
Everybody knows that the good guys lost
          Gm                  A
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
              C                  Dm
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich and
              Eb             A              Dm
That’s how it goes...         Everybody knows.

Everybody knows the boat is leakin’
Everybody knows the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father of their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of choc’lates
And a long stem rose...  Everybody knows.

    	  F                C
Everybody Knows. Everybody Knows
              Dm    C    Bb        F
That’s how it goes.      Everybody knows.



Everybody knows that you love me baby,
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you’ve been faithful,
Give or take a night or two,
Everybody knows you’ve been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet 
Without your clothes...   And everybody knows


And Everybody knows that it’s now or never
Everybody knows that its me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
When you’ve done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old black Joe’s still pickin’ cotton
For your ribbon and bows...     And everybody knows.

       Everybody Knows. Everybody Knows
       That’s How it Goes. Everybody Knows.

Everybody knows the plague is coming,
Everybody knows that it’s moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shiny artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But theirs gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose...   What everybody knows.

And everybody knows you’re in trouble
Everybody knows what you’ve been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows that its coming apart
Take one last look at this sacred heart
Before it blows... Everybody knows.

Everybody Knows. Everybody knows.
       That’s how it goes.     Everybody knows.
