Leonard Cohen - Alexandra leaving

^GSuddenly the night has grown c^Emolder. ^D The Go^Dd of love pr^Ceparing ^Dto d^Gepart. ^GAlexandra hoisted on his s^Emhoulder, ^D T^Dhey slip between the s^Centries ^Dof the h^Geart.

^BmUpheld by the simplicities of ^Cpleasure, ^AmThey gain the light, they formlessly en^Dtwine; ^{Dsus4 D G}And radiant beyond your widest ^Emmeasure ^AmThey fall among the v^Coices ^Dand the ^Gwine.

It's not a t^Crick, your se^Dnses all d^Emeceiving, A fitful dr^Ceam, the mo^Amrning will ex^Dhaust ^{Dsus4 D} Say goo^Gdbye to al^Dexandra l^Ceaving. Then ^Amsay goodbye to ^Dalexandra l^Gost.

E^Gven though she sleeps upon your s^Ematin; ^{D D}Even though she w^Cakes you w^Dith a ki^Gss. ^GDo not say the moment was im^Emagined; ^{D D}Do not stoop to s^Ctrateg^Dies like ^Gthis.

^BmAs someone long prepared for this to ^Chappen, ^AmGo firmly to the window. Drink it ^Din. ^{Dsus4 D} Exquisite ^Gmusic. Alexandra laug^Emhing. Your ^Amfirm commitments ^Ctangib^Dle a^Ggain.

And yo^Cu who had the h^Donor of her ev^Emening, And by the h^Conor had your ^Amown rest^Dored ^{Dsus4 D} Say good^Gbye to a^Dlexandra lea^Cving; A^Amlexandra ^Dleaving with her l^Gord.

Even though she s^Cleeps upo^Dn your s^Ematin; Even though she w^Cakes you w^Dith a ki^Gss. Do not say the m^Coment was i^Dmagin^Emed; Do not stoop to ^Cstrategies like t^Dhis. ^{Dsus4 D}

^GAs someone long prepared for the o^Emccasion; ^{D D}In full command of e^Cvery pl^Dan you w^Grecked ^GDo not choose a coward's expla^Emnation ^{D D}That hides behind the c^Cause and t^Dhe eff^Gect.

And yo^Cu who were bew^Dildered by a me^Emaning; Whose code was b^Croken, cr^Amucifix uncr^Dossed ^{Dsus4 D} Say good^Gbye to alex^Dandra leav^Cing. Then s^Amay goodbye to a^Dlexandra l^Gost.

Say good^Gbye to alex^Dandra lea^Cving. Then ^Amsay goodbye to a^Dlexandra l^Gost.
