Why Don't You Try  Leonard Cohen

Why don't you t[A]ry to do without h[C#]im
Why don't you t[D]ry to live al[A]one
Do you really need his h[A]ands for your pas[C#]sion
Do you r[D]eally need his heart for your th[A]rone
Do you n[E]eed his labour for your b[D7]aby
Do you n[E]eed his beast for the b[D7]one
Do you n[E]eed to hold a leash to be a l[D7]ady
I kn[A]ow you're going to m[D]ake it[A], m[D]ake it [A]on your [G]own[B] [E]
Why don't you try to forget him
Just open up your dainty little hand
You know this life is filled with many sweet companions
Many satisfying one-night stands
Do you want to be the ditch around a tower
Do you want to be the moonlight in his cave
Do you want to give your blessing to his power
As he goes whistling past his daddy, past his daddy's grave
I'd like to take you to the ceremony
Well that is if I remember the way
You see Jack and Jill they're going to join their misery
I'm afraid it's time for everyone to pray
You can see they've finally taken cover
They're willing, yeah they're willing to obey
Their vows are difficult they're for each other
So let nobody put a loophole, a loophole in their way
