[G#] [C#m]
[C#m] Everybody knows that the dice are loaded Everybody [A]
rolls with their fingers crossed
[C#m] Everybody knows the war is over [A] Everybody knows the good guy's lost
[F#m] Everybody knows the fight [G#] was fixed The poor [B] stay poor, the rich [C#m] get rich
That's [D] how it goes [G#] [C#m] Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking [A] Everybody knows the captain lied
[C#m] Everybody got this broken feeling [A] Like their father or their dog just died
[F#m] Everybody talking to [G#] their pockets [B] Everybody wants a box [C#m] of chocolates
And a long [D]
stemmed rose [G#] Everybody [C#m]
knows
Everybody knows that you love him, baby Everybody [A]
knows that you really do
[C#m] Everybody knows that you've been faithful [A]
Give or take, a night or two
[F#m] Everybody knows you've [G#] been discreet But there were so [B] many people you just [C#m] had
To meet without [D] your clothes [G#] And [C#m] everybody knows
[E] Everybody knows [B] Everybody knows
That's how [C#m] it goes [B] [A] [E] Everybody knows
Everybody knows [B] Everybody knows
That's [C#m] how it goes [B] [A] [E] Everybody knows
And [C#m]
everybody knows that it's now or never [A] Everybody knows that it's me or you
And [C#m] everybody knows that you'll live forever [A] Oh, when you've done a line or two
[F#m] Everybody knows the deal [G#] is rotten Old [B] black Joe still [C#m] picking cotton for your
[D] ribbons and bows [G#] And [C#m] everybody knows
And everybody knows that the plague is coming [A] Everybody knows that it's scooting fast
[C#] Everybody [C#m] knows that the naked man and woman Are [A] just a shining artifact of the past
[F#m] Everybody knows the scene [G#] is dead But there's gonna [B] be a meter on [C#m] your bed
That will [D]
disclose [G#] what [C#m] everybody knows And everybody knows that you're in trouble
[A] Everybody knows what you've been through From the [C#m] bloody cross on top of Calvary
[A]
To the beach in Malibu Everybody [F#m]
knows it's coming [G#] upon
Take one [B] last look at this sacred [C#m] heart Before it [D]
blows
[G#] And [C#m] everybody knows Everybody [E]
knows
Everybody [B]
knows That's how [C#m] it goes
[B] [A] Everybody [E]
knows Everybody knows
Everybody [B]
knows That's how [C#m] it goes
[B] Oh, [E] everybody knows Everybody knows
