A Thousand Kisses Deep - Leonard Cohen
Capo on the 1st
You can play the B chord as a B7 if its easier to you
The ponies Emrun, the girls are Byoung,
The odds are Emthere to beat.Em  
You win a Emwhile, and then it’s Bdone
Your little Cwinning streak.
And summoned Amnow to Bdeal
With your EminvinciDble defC#dimeat,
You live your Amlife as if it’s Breal,
 CA Thousand DKisses EmDeep.
I’m turning Emtricks, I’m getting Bfixed,
I’m back on EmBoogie Street.Em  
You lose your Emgrip, and then you Bslip
Into the MCasterpiece.
And maybe AmI had miles Bto drive,
 EmAnd promisDes to kC#dimeep:
You ditch it Amall to stay Balive,
 CA Thousand DKisses EmDeep.
Em B Em Em Em B C C
And sometimes Amwhen the night is Bslow,
 EmThe wretchDed and the mC#dimeek,
We gather Amup our hearts Band go,
 CA Thousand DKisses EmDeep.
Confined to Emsex, we pressed aBgainst
The limits Emof the sea:Em  
I saw there Emwere no ocBeans left
 EmFor scavenDgers like Cme.
I made it Amto the forward Bdeck.
 EmI blessed our Dremnant fleC#dimet
And then consAmented to be wBrecked,
 CA Thousand DKisses EmDeep.
I’m turning Emtricks, I’m getting Bfixed,
I’m back on EmBoogie Street.Em  
I guess they Emwon’t exchange Bthe gifts
That you were Cmeant to keep.
And quiet Amis the thought oBf you,
 EmThe file oDn you compleC#dimte,
Except what Amwe forgot to Bdo,
 CA Thousand DKisses CDeep.
Em B Em Em Em B C C
And sometimes Amwhen the night is Bslow,
 EmThe wretchDed and the mCeek,
We gather Amup our hearts Band go,
