You Want It Darker Leonard Cohen
If [Em]you are the dealer, I am out of the game
If you are the healer, means I'm b[G]roken and[Am] lame
If t[Em]hine is the glory, then mine must be the shame
You want it darker[G], [Am]we kill the [Em]flame
Magnified and sanctified be Thy Holy Name
Vilified, crucified in the human frame
A million candles burning for the help that never came
You want it darker
[C] [G] H[D]ineni Hineni
N c Em
I'm ready, my Lord
There's a lover in the story, but the story is still the same
There's a lullaby for suffering and a paradox to blame
But it's written in the scriptures and it's not some idle claim
You want it darker, we kill the flame
They're lining up the prisoners, the guards are taking aim
I struggled with some demons, they were middle-class and tame
I Didn't know I had permission to murder and to maim
You want it darker
Hineni Hineni
I'm ready, my Lord
Magnified and sanctified be Thy Holy Name
Vilified and crucified in the human frame
A million candles burning for the love that never came
You want it darker
If you are the dealer, let me out of the game
If you are the healer, I'm broken and lame
If thine is the glory, mine must be the shame
You want it darker
Hineni Hineni
I'm ready, my Lord
