Verse 1:

Everybody [Dm]knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody [Bb]rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody [Dm]knows the war is over
Everybody [Bb]knows the good guys lost
Everybody [Gm]knows the fight was [A]fixed
The poor stay [C]poor, the rich get [Dm]rich
That's how it [Eb]goes
[A]Everybody [Dm]knows

Everybody [Dm]knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody [Bb]knows the captain lied
Everybody [Dm]got this broken feeling
like their [Bb]father or their dog just died
Everybody [Gm]talking to their [A]pockets
Everybody [C]wants a box of [Dm]choc'lates
And a long stem [Eb]rose
[A]Everybody [Dm]knows

Everybody [Dm]knows that you love me, baby
Everybody [Bb]knows that you really do
Everybody [Dm]knows that you've been faithful
[Bb]Give or take a night or two
Everybody [Gm]knows you've been dis[A]creet
But there were so many [C]people you just had to [Dm]meet
Without your [Eb]clothes
[A]And everybody [Dm]knows

Chorus:

Everybody [F]knows, everybody [C]knows

Everybody [F]knows, everybody [C]knows
That's how it [Dm]goes [C]
[Bb]Everybody [F]knows

Verse 2:

[Dm]And everybody [Dm]knows that it's now or never
Everybody [Bb]knows that's me or you
And everybody [Dm]knows that you live forever
When you've [Bb]done a line or two
Everybody [Gm]knows the deal is [A]rotten
Old black [C]Joe's still picking [Dm]cotton
For your ribbon and [Eb]bows
[A]And everybody [Dm]knows

Everybody [Dm]knows that the plague is coming
Everybody [Bb]knows that it's moving fast
Everybody [Dm]knows that the naked man and the woman
Are just a [Bb]shining artifact of the past
Everybody [Gm]knows the scene is [A]dead
But there's gonna [C]be a meter on your [Dm]bed
That will dis[Eb]close
[A]What everybody [Dm]knows

And everybody [Dm]knows that you're in trouble
Everybody [Bb]knows what you've been through
From the bloody [Dm]cross on top of Calvary
To the [Bb]beach of Malibu
Everybody [Gm]knows it's coming a[A]part
Take one [C]last look at this sacred [Dm]heart
Before it [Eb]blows
[A]And everybody [Dm]knows
