You Want It Darker chords by Leonard Cohen

Guitar chords with lyrics


This is a great and simple song, please remember to rate, thanks!

[Verse]
Em
If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game
                 G      Am
If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame
Em
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
            G      Am
You want it darker
 Em          G      Am
We kill the flame

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
            G       Am
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
Em
A million candles burning for the help that never came
            G       Am
You want it darker

[Chorus]
C  G  D
Hineni, hineni
         Em     G     Am
I'm ready, my lord

[Verse]
Em
There's a lover in the story
Em
But the story's still the same
Em
There's a lullaby for suffering
    G        Am
And a paradox to blame
Em
But it's written in the scriptures

And it's not some idle claim
          G      Am
You want it darker
Em         G      Am
We kill the flame

[Verse]
Em
They're lining up the prisoners
Em
And the guards are taking aim
Em
I struggled with some demons
      G       Am
They were middle class and tame
Em
I didn't know I had permission to murder and to maim
            G      Am
You want it darker

[Chorus]
C  G  D
Hineni, hineni
        Em      G     Am
I'm ready, my lord

[Post-Chorus]
Em
Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
            G       Am
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
Em
A million candles burning for the love that never came
            G       Am
You want it darker
Em           G      Am
We kill the flame

[Verse]
Em
If you are the dealer, let me out of the game
                 G      Am
If you are the healer, I'm broken and lame
Em
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
            G      Am
You want it darker

[Chorus]
C  G  D
Hineni, hineni
C  G  D
Hineni, hineni
        Em     G     Am
I'm ready, my lord
