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.
