On The Level, from Leonard Cohen. Album You Want It Darker.
So he plays it on the piano and adds stuff up, but at least this is the structure and the chords so you can
build up from there.
NB : some chords might be slightly misplaced (one or two syllabes off), I apologize for that.
[Verse 1]
Eb
I knew that it was wrong
Eb
I didn't have a doubt
Eb Ab
I was dying to get back home
Eb
And you were starting out
Eb
I said I'd best be moving on
Eb
You said we have all day
Ab
You smiled at me like I was young
Eb
It took my breath away
[Bridge]
Cm
Your crazy fragrance all around
Eb
Your secrets all in view
Cm
My lost, my lost was saying found
Bb
My don't was saying do
[Chorus]
Eb
Let's keep it on the level
Eb
When I walked away from you
Eb
I turned my back on the devil
Eb Ab Eb
Turned my back on the angel, too
Bb
They oughta give my heart a medal
Bb
For letting go of you
Ab
When I turned my back on the devil
Ab Eb
Turned my back on the angel, too
[Verse 2]
Eb
Now I'm living in this temple
Eb
Where they tell you what to do
Ab
I'm old and I've had to settle
Eb
On a different point of view
Eb
I was fighting with temptation
Eb
But I didn't want to win
Eb Ab
A man like me don't like to see
Eb
Temptation caving in
[Bridge]
Cm
Your crazy fragrance all around
Eb
Your secrets all in view
Cm
My lost, my lost was saying found

My don't was saying do
[Chorus]
Eb
Let's keep it on the level
Eb
When I walked away from you
Eb
I turned my back on the devil
Eb Ab Eb
Turned my back on the angel, too
Bb
They oughta give my heart a medal
Bb
For letting go of you
Ab
When I turned my back on the devil
Ab Eb
Turned my back on the angel, too

They oughta give my heart a medal
Bb
For letting go of you
Ab
When I turned my back on the devil
Ab Eb
Turned my back on the angel, too
