Chords for A Life of Errands by Leonard Cohen

If you are lucky, you will grow old and live a life of [Bb]
errands.
[G] You will discern what people need and provide it before they [F] ask.
You will drive your car here and there, delivering [Dm] and fetching,
and neither the traffic nor the weather will bother you in the least.
[F]
You will whip down the 405 to San Diego to [G] pick up an acorn for someone's proverb,
and so on and so forth, [Bb]
in spite of the ache in your heart about the girl you never found
and [F] the fact that after years of spiritual rigor, you did not manage to enlighten yourself.

_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ Let [Bb] me go, I don't want to, I don't want [F] to, don't
_ [Dm] Let [Gm] _ [Bb] me go, I don't want to, [F] want to, want [F] to
A certain cheerfulness will begin to arise out of your [Gm] crushed hopes and intentions
_ [Gm] How thirstily [D] you embrace your next [F] commission
The sift through the sunglasses that have [Dm] lost and found in Las [A] Vegas
Just a few hours across [G] the desert
_ [F]
Your hair is white, you have breast and a gut [G] over your belt
You are no longer a boy or even a man
[Bb]
But a sense of gratitude enlivens every move you make
_ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
You hold on, you hold on, [Bb] you're holding on to me
You [F]
hold on, you hold on, [Bb] you're holding on to me
Yeah, [F] you hold on, _ hold on, [Bb] you're holding on to me
Yeah, [F] you hold on, hold on, _ [Bb] you're holding on to me
So [F] hold on, _ hold on, [Bb] hold on, hold on to _ me
So [F] hold on, _ hold on, [Bb] hold _ on, hold on to me
_ [F] _
_ Don't [Dm] let _ _ [G] me go, [Bb] I don't want to, I don't [F] want to, don't
_ _ [Dm] Let [Bb] me go, I don't want to, I don't want to, [F] _
