You Want It Darker:

Treaty

Words and music by Leonard Cohen



Fm    /ab    C/g    G
  C                  G(/b)       Am
I seen you change the water into wine
  C                  G(/b)         Am
I seen you change it back to water too
F             E           Am
I sit at your table every night
  Dm                                 G(sus4)
I try but I just don't get high with you
  C                G(7/b)          Am
I wish there was a treaty we could sign
  C                G                Am
I do not care who takes this bloody hill
    F             E             Am
I'm angry and I'm tired all the time
  Dm
I wish there was a treaty
  F                         Fm
I wish there was a treaty
                      C     G(sus4)
Between your love and mine
                F              Bb/f          F
       They're dancing in the street - it's Jubilee
                             Bb                  F
       We sold ourselves for love but now we're free
             A                             Dm
       I'm so sorry for the ghost I made you be
       /c   Bb                 G#dim             G(sus4)
       Only one of us was real        and that was me.
I haven't said a word since you've been gone
That any liar couldn't say as well
I just can't believe the static coming on
You were my ground - my safe and sound
You were my aerial
       The fields are crying out - it's Jubilee
       We sold ourselves for love but now we're free
       I'm so sorry for the ghost I made you be
       Only one of us was real - and that was me.
I heard the snake was baffled by his sin
He shed his scales to find the snake within
But born again is born without a skin
The poison enters into everything
I wish there was a treaty we could sign
I do not care who takes the bloody hill
I'm angry and I'm tired all the time
I wish there was a treaty
I wish there was a treaty 
Between your love and mine
