THE FUTURE      LEONARD COHEN

Intro: Am


 Am   
Give me back my broken night
    Dm
My mirrored room, my secret life
      G#dim
It's lonely here
         E7             Am
There's no one left to torture
 Am   
Give me absolute control
Dm
Over every living soul
     G#dim            E7
And lie beside me, baby
          Am
That's an order!


 Am
Give me crack and anal sex
 Dm
Take the only tree that's left
      G#dim          E7
And stuff it up the hole
         Am
In your culture
 Am
Give me back the Berlin wall
 Dm
Give me Stalin and St. Paul
      G#dim             E7
I've seen the future, brother:
       Am
It is murder


  Dm                         C
Things are going to slide (slide) in all directions
          Dm                                  C
Won't be nothing (won't be), nothing you can measure anymore
      Dm                           F
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
                   F
Has crossed the threshold
           Fm
And it has overturned
                  C
The order of the soul
           G
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent), REPENT (repent)
           Am
I wonder what they meant
           G
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent), REPENT (repent)
           Am
I wonder what they meant
           G
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent), REPENT (repent)
           Am
I wonder what they meant


 Am
You don't know me from the wind
     Dm
You never will, you never did
G#dim           E7
I'm the little jew
               Am
Who wrote the Bible
      Am
I've seen the nations rise and fall
      Dm
I've heard their stories, heard them all
     G#dim          E7
But love's the only engine 
       Am
Of survival
      Am
Your servant here, he has been told
    Dm
To say it clear, to say it cold:
     G#dim           E7
It's over, it ain't going 
     Am
Any further
     Am
And now the wheels of heaven stop
     Dm
You feel the devil's riding crop
     G#dim         E7
Get ready for the future:
       Am
It is murder


  Dm                         C
Things are going to slide (slide) in all directions
          Dm                                  C
Won't be nothing (won't be), nothing you can measure anymore
      Dm                           F
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
                   F
Has crossed the threshold
           Fm
And it has overturned
                  C
The order of the soul
           G
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent), REPENT (repent)
           Am
I wonder what they meant
           G
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent), REPENT (repent)
           Am
I wonder what they meant
           G
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent), REPENT (repent)
           Am
I wonder what they meant


                  Am
There'll be the breaking of the ancient western code
       Dm
Your private life will suddenly explode
              Am
There'll be phantoms, there'll be fires on the road
                   F      E7
And the white man dancing
                 Am
You'll see your woman hanging upside down
     Dm
Her features covered by her fallen gown
             Am
And all the lousy little poets coming round
                              F      E7
Trying to sound like Charlie Manson 
                    Am
Yeah the white man dancing


 Am      
Give me back the Berlin wall
 Dm
Give me Stalin and St. Paul
 G#dim
Give me Christ
    E7           Am
Or give me Hiroshima
     Am
Destroy another fetus now
    Dm
We don't like children anyhow
      G#dim            E7
I've seen the future, baby:
       Am
It is murder


  Dm                         C
Things are going to slide (slide) in all directions
          Dm                                  C
Won't be nothing (won't be), nothing you can measure anymore
      Dm                           F
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
                   F
Has crossed the threshold
           Fm
And it has overturned
                  C
The order of the soul
           G
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent), REPENT (repent)
           Am
I wonder what they meant
           G
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent), REPENT (repent)
           Am
I wonder what they meant
           G
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent), REPENT (repent)
           Am
I wonder what they meant
           G                                           Am
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent), REPENT (repent)
