lyrics

Leaving The Table Leonard Cohen

(C) (Am) (F) (G) (C) (G)(hold)
I'm leaving the (C)table,
I'm out of the (Am)game.
I don't know the (Dm)people
In your (G)picture frame
If I ever (F)loved you oh (Fm)no, no,
(C)It's a (E7/B)crying (Am)shame,
If I ever loved (F)you, (G)
If I knew your (C)name, (G)(hold)

You don't need a (C)lawyer,
I'm not making a (Am)claim.
You don't need to sur(Dm)render,
I'm not taking (G)aim.
I don't need a (F)lover, no, no, (Fm)no,
The (C)wretched (E7/B)beast is (Am)tame.
I don't need a (F)lover, (G)
So blow out the (C)flame. (G)(hold)

There's nobody (C)missing,
There is no re(Am)ward.
Little by (Dm)little,
We're cutting the (G)cord.
We're spending the (Fj7)treasure, oh, (Fm6)no, no,
That (C)love (E7/B)cannot af(Am)ford.
I know you can (Fj7)feel it, (G)
The sweetness re(C)stored. (G)(hold)
(C) (Am) (Dm) (G)
(F) (F/A) (Fm/C) (Fm/D) (C/G) (E7/G#) (Am)
(F) (G) (C) (G)(hold)

I don't need a (C)reason
For what I be(A2)came. (Am)
I've got these ex(Dm)cuses, (D2) (Dm7)
They're tired and (G)lame. (G7) (G6)
I (G5)don't need a (Fj7)pardon, no, no, (Fm6)no, no, no,
There's (C)no one (E7/B)left to (Am)blame.
I'm leaving the (F)table, (G)
I'm out of the (A2)game. (Am) (A2)
I'm (Am)leaving the (F)table, (G)(hold)
I'm out of the game. (C)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
