A Thousand Kisses Deep

written by Leonard Cohen and Sharon Robinson


Intro: Fm . . . |C . . . |Fm . . . |. . /c . |

            Fm                 C
The ponies run, the girls are young
               Fm           /c
The odds are there to beat
            Fm                  C
You win a while, and then it's done
             Db
Your little winning streak
              Bbm    C
And summoned now to deal
         Fm       (/g)  Dm-5
With your invincible defeat
               Bbm7            C
You live your life as if it's real
Db          Eb     Fm
A Thousand Kisses Deep

I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed
I'm back on Boogie Street
You loose your grip, and then you slip
Into the Masterpiece
And maybe I had miles to drive
And promises to keep
You ditch it all to stay alive
A Thousand Kisses Deep

Fm . . . |C . . . |Fm . /c . |Fm . /c . |
Fm . . . |C . . . |Db . . . |. . . . |

                Bbm               C
And sometimes when the night is slow
Fm           (/g)     Dm-5
The wretched and the meek
          Bbm7               C
We gather up our hearts and go
Db          Eb     Fm
A Thousand Kisses Deep

Confined to sex, we pressed against
The limits of the sea
I saw there were no oceans left
For scavengers like me
I made it to the forward deck
I blessed our remnant fleet
And then consented to be wrecked
A Thousand Kisses Deep

I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed
I'm back on Boogie Street
I guess they won't exchange the gifts
That you were meant to keep
And quiet is the thought of you
The file on you complete
Except what we forgot to do
A Thousand Kisses Deep

Fm . . . |C . . . |Fm . /c . |Fm . /c . |
Fm . . . |C . . . |Db . . . |. . . . |

And sometimes when the night is slow
The wretched and the meek
We gather up our hearts and go
A Thousand Kisses Deep

The ponies run, the girls are young
The odds are there to beat
You win a while, and then it's done
Your little winning streak
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat
You live your life as if it's real
A Thousand Kisses Deep
