Words by Leonard Cohen, music by Adam Cohen
Em
Am B
I can't leave my house
Em
Or answer the phone
C
I'm going down again
B
But I'm not alone
Em
Settling at last
(Em)
Accounts of the soul
Am
This for the trash
B Em
That paid in full
C Am
As for the fall - it began long ago
B
Can't stop the rain
Em
Can't stop the snow
G
I sit in my chair
Am
I look at the street
B Em
The neighbor returns my smile of defeat
C Am
I move with the leaves
(Am) B
I shine with the chrome
Em
I'm almost alive, I'm almost at home
Am B
No one to follow
Em
And nothing to teach
C
Except that the goal
Em
Falls short of the reach
