Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][E][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
Everybody [Am]knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody [F]rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody [Am]knows the war is over
Everybody [F]knows the good guys lost
Everybody [Dm]knows the fight was [E]fixed
The poor stay [G]poor, the rich get [Am]rich
That's how it [Bb]goes
[E]Everybody kno[Am]ws
Every[Dm]body knows

[Verse 2]
[Am]that the boat is leaking
Everybody [F]knows that the captain lied
Everybody [Am]got this broken feeling
Like their [F]father or their dog just died
Everybody [Dm]talking to their pock[E]ets
Everybody [G]wants a box of [Am]chocolates
And a long-stem [Bb]rose
[E]Everybody kno[Am]ws
Every[Dm]body

[Verse 3]
[Am]knows that you love me baby
Everybody [F]knows that you really do
Everybody [Am]knows that you've been faithful
Ah, [F]give or take a night or two
Every[Am]body [Dm]knows you've been dis[E]creet
But there were so many [G]people
you just had to [Am]meet
Without your [Bb]clothes
[E]And everybody kno[Am]ws

[Chorus 1]
Everybody [C]knows, everybody [G]knows,
That's how it [Am]goes
[G]Eve[F]rybody kno[C]ws
Everybody knows, everybody [G]knows
That's how it [Am]goes
[G]Eve[F]rybody kno[C]ws
[Am]
And every[F]body

[Verse 4]
[Am]knows that it's now or never
Everybody [F]knows that it's me or you
And everybody [Am]knows that you live forever
Ah, [F]when you've done a line or two
Everybody [Dm]knows the deal is rot[E]ten
Old Black [G]Joe's still pickin' [Am]cotton
For your ribbons and [Bb]bows
[E]And everybody kno[Am]ws
And every[Dm]body knows

[Verse 5]
[Am]
that the Plague is coming
Everybody [F]knows that it's moving fast
Everybody [Am]knows
that the naked man and woman
Are just a [F]shining artifact of the past
Every[Am]body [Dm]knows the scene is [E]dead
But there's gonna be a [G]meter on your [Am]bed
That will dis[Bb]close
[E]What everybody kno[Am]ws
And every[Dm]body

[Verse 6]
[Am]knows that you're in trouble
Everybody [F]knows what you've been through
From the bloody [Am]cross on top of Calvary
[F]To the beach of Malibu
Every[Am]body [Dm]knows it's coming [E]apart
Take one last [G]look at this Sacred [Am]Heart
Before it [Bb]blows
[E]And everybody kno[Am]ws

[Chorus 2]
Everybody [C]knows, everybody [G]knows
That's how it [Am]goes [G]Eve[F]rybody kno[C]ws
Everybody [C]knows, everybody [G]knows
That's how it [Am]goes
[G]Eve[F]rybody kno[C]ws
Everybody [C]knows, everybody [G]knows
That's how it [Am]goes
[G]Eve[F]rybody kno[C]ws
[Repeat and fade]
