Chords for Rufus Wainwright - Everybody Knows

[Am] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] When I first met him, it was funny because I'd befriended his daughter and she's, you
know, one of my all-time greatest friends.
But I was still admittedly a little nervous to meet her dad and to, you know, step into that world.
And when I first met him, we went [Ab] upstairs for coffee and he was, the first vision I
had of him was, he was wearing underwear and he was boiling soba noodles.
And he, it was boiling soba noodles and he also had these little sausages that he'd cooked
and that he was biting little bits off and regurgitating onto a toothpick and feeding
this _ _ bird that had fallen out of a nest, like a little baby bird.
So he was trying to revive this baby bird.
And that was like the first thing I saw was him like trying to revive [Eb] this [Bb] poor [Abm] baby bird.
It was just like a Larry [Db] Cullen moment.
And I was in his underwear.
_ And I was [Ab] like, okay.
And then [Dbm] he went off after a [Ab] pleasant conversation and then I was sitting with Laurica talking
and then all of a sudden he reappeared in full _ [Db] Armani _ dress, like an Armani suit with
his hair slicked back and these patent leather shoes or whatever.
And I literally jumped out of my seat.
I was like, oh my God, it's Leonard Cullen. _ _
[Ab] You know, it was because he looked like he'd walked off one of his album covers.
He's really, I don't know, he's a snappy dresser.
[Bbm] _
[Abm] My father trained as an engineer, but somehow he fell into [Ab] the clothing business, manufacturing
_ [Db] clothing.
So [F] I grew [Bbm] up wearing suits.
I tried jeans, but you know, I never [Abm] [Db] felt comfortable _ [N] in blue jeans.
Never got it right.
So I just finally [Dm] surrendered _ [G] to the fact [Abm] that I felt [Dm] most comfortable [Gbm] in a suit.
