Leonard Cohen - A Thousand Kisses Deep

the ponies run , the girls are young , the odds are there to beat ,
Fm C7 C#
you win a while , and then it’s done , your little winning streak .
Bm C7 Fm D# C#
and summoned now to deal with your invincible defeat ,
Bm C7 C# D# Fm
you live your life as if it’s real , a thousand kisses deep .

Fm C7 Fm
i’m turning tricks , i’m getting fixed , i’m back on boogie street ,
Fm C7 C#
you lose your grip , and then you slip into the masterpiece .
Bm C7 Fm D# C#
and maybe i had miles to drive , and promises to keep ,
Bm C7 C# D# Fm
you ditch it all to stay alive , a thousand kisses deep .

Bm C7 Fm D# C#
and sometimes when the night is slow , the wretched and the meek ,
Bm C7 C# D# Fm
we gather up our hearts and go , a thousand kisses deep .

Fm C7 Fm
confined to sxx , we pressed against the limits of the sea ,
Fm C7 C#
i saw there were no oceans there for scavengers like me .
Bm C7 Fm D# C#
i made it to the forward deck , i blessed our remnant fleet ,
Bm C7 C# D# Fm
and then consented to be wrecked , a thousand kisses deep .

Fm C7 Fm
i’m turning tricks , i’m getting fixed , i’m back on boogie street ,
Fm C7 C#
i guess they won’t exchange the gifts that you were meant to keep .
Bm C7 Fm D# C#
and quiet is the thought of you , the file on you complete ,
Bm C7 C# D# Fm
except what we forgot to do , a thousand kisses deep .
