Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
          C#m                       
Everybody knows that the war is over
           A                      
Everybody knows the good guys lost

Everybody knows  the fight was fixed
              B                    C#m
The poor stay poor,  the rich get rich
              D    Ab
That's how it goes   
           C#m 
Everybody knows
          C#m                           
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
           A                         
Everybody knows that the captain lied
          C#m                    
Everybody got this broken feeling
           A                            
Like their father or their dog just died
          F#m                Ab     
Everybody talking   to their pockets
          B              C#m       
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
                D    Ab
And a long stem rose   
           C#m 
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that you love me baby
           A                      
Everybody knows that you really do
           C#m                           
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
   A                          
Ah give or take a night or two
          F#m                     Ab  
Everybody knows   you've been discreet
                       B     
But there were so many people
                C#m 
You just had to meet
              D       Ab
Without your clothes    
               C#m 
And everybody knows

           E                  B   
Everybody knows,   everybody knows

              C#m                         
And everybody knows that it's now or never
           A                       
Everybody knows that it's me or you
              C#m                        
And everybody knows that you live forever
   A                             
Ah when you've done a line or two
          F#m               Ab    
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
          B                   C#m   
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
                     D    Ab
For your ribbons and bows   
              C#m  
And everybody knows

               C#m          
And everybody knows that the
C#m             
Plague is coming
           A                         
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
           C#m                              
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
           A                           
Are just a shining artifact of the past
          F#m                 Ab  
Everybody knows  the scene is dead
                       B             C#m
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
              D      Ab
That will disclose     
                C#m 
What everybody knows

              C#m                         
And everybody knows that you're in trouble
           A                            
Everybody knows what you've been through
                 C#m                   
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
A                     
To the beach of Malibu
           F#m                   Ab
Everybody knows it's coming apart  
              B                   C#m  
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
           D     Ab
Before it blows    
              C#m  
And everybody knows
