Everybody Knows
Music and Lyrics by Leonard Cohen
Bbm
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded.
F#
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed.

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.
