Chords

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

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

They oughta give my heart a medal

For letting go of you

       Ab
When I turned my back on the devil

Ab                    Eb
Turned my back on the angel, too
