Nobody Knows

("Nobody Knows" by Leonard Cohen) [Instrumental Intro] ! [Instrumental] ! [Verse 1] Nobody knows that the dice are loaded Nobody rolls with their fingers crossed Nobody knows the war is over Nobody knows the good guys lost... [Verse 2] Nobody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich That's... how it goes No body knows [Hook] No body knows... no body knows That's... how it goes Nobody knows [Verse 3] Nobody knows that the boat is leaking Nobody knows that the captain lied Nobody got this broken feeling Like their father or their dog just died [Verse 4] Nobody talking to their pockets Nobody wants a box of chocolates And a long-stem rose Nobody knows [Hook] No body knows... no body knows That's... how it goes Nobody knows [Verse 5] Nobody knows that you love me, baby Nobody knows that you really do Nobody knows that you've been faithful Ah, give or take a night or two [Verse 6] Nobody knows you've been discreet But there were so many people you just had to meet Without your clothes And nobody knows [Hook] No body knows... no body knows That's... how it goes Nobody knows [Instrumental Bridge] ! And nobody knows that it's now or never Nobody knows that it's me or you And nobody knows that you live forever Ah, when you've done a line or two [Verse 7] Nobody knows the deal is rotten Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton For your ribbons and bows And nobody knows [Verse 8] Nobody knows that the Plague is coming Nobody knows that it's moving fast Nobody knows that the naked man and woman Are just a shining artifact of the past [Verse 9] Nobody knows the scene is dead But there's gonna be a meter on your bed That will disclose What nobody knows [Hook] No body knows... no body knows That's... how it goes Nobody knows [Verse 10] And nobody knows that you're in trouble Nobody knows what you've been through From the bloody cross on top of Calvary To the beach of Malibu [Outro] Nobody knows it's coming apart Take one last look at this Sacred Heart Before it blows And no body knows...
