Everybody knows the war is over
          Bb
Everybody knows that the good guys lost
          Gm                  A
Everybody knows the fight was fixed

Everybody got this broken feeling
          Bb
Like their father or their dog just died
          Gm                  A
Everybody talking to their pockets
          C              Dm

Everybody knows you've been discreet

But there were so many people you just had to meet
             Eb        A                      Dm
Without your clothes...   And everybody knows

And everybody knows that it's now or never

Everybody knows that it's me or you
              Dm
And everybody knows that you live forever
            Bb
When you've done a line or two
          Gm                A
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
          C                   Dm
Old black Joe's still picking cotton

For your ribbon and bows...     And everybody knows

          Dm
Everybody knows that your naked man and woman
          Bb
Are just a shining artifact of the past
          Gm                 A
Everybody knows the scene is dead
                       C             Dm
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
                 Eb      A                      Dm
Which will disclose...       What everybody knows

From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
       Bb
To the beach of Malibu
          Gm                   A
Everybody knows it's coming apart
              C                      Dm
Take one last look at this sacred heart
          Eb       A                         Dm
before it blows...        And everybody knows
