The Hills Chords & Lyrics - Leonard Cohen

[CHORUS]
[N.C.]I can't make the h[Am]ills
The system is s[Am]hot
I'm living on p[Dm]ills
For which I thank [Am]God

[VERSE 2]
My animal h[Am]owls
My angel's u[Am]pset
But I'm not al[Dm]lowed
A trace of re[G]gret

[VERSE 2]
For someone will u[E]se
The thing I could not [Am]be
My heart will be he[E]ard
Imper[Am]sonally [Dm]

[VERSE 3]
She'll step on the p[Dm]ath
She'll see what I m[Am]ean
My will cut in [Dm]half
And freedom be[Am]tween

[VERSE 4]
For this in a se[E]cond
Our lives will col[F]lide
The endless sus[C]pended
The door opened w[G]ide

[VERSE 5]
And she will be b[F]orn
To someone like y[C]ou
What I left und[G]one
She will certainly [C]do

[VERSE 6]
I know she is co[F]ming
And I know she will l[Fm]ook
And that is the lo[C]nging
And this is the h[G]ook

[CHORUS]
I can't make the h[Am]ills
The system is s[Am]hot
I'm living on p[Dm]ills
For which I thank [Am]God

[VERSE 7]
My page was too w[Am]hite
My ink was too th[Am]inned
The day wouldn't w[Dm]rite
But the night penciled [G]in

[VERSE 8]
But I know she's co[F]ming
And I know she will l[C]ook
That is the lo[G]nging
This is the h[C]ook

[VERSE 9]
I know she is c[F]oming
And I know she will l[Fm]ook
That is the lon[C]ging
And this is the h[G]ook

[CHORUS]
I can't make the h[Am]ills [Asus2] [Am]
The system is s[Am]hot [Asus2] [Am]
I'm living on p[Dm]ills
For which I thank [Am]God [Asus2] [Am]

[VERSE 10]
I sailed like a s[Am]wan [Asus2] [Am]
I sank like a r[Am]ock [Asus2] [Am]
But time is long g[Dm]one
Past my laughing st[G]ock

[CHORUS]
I can't make the hi[F]lls
The system is s[Fm]hot
I'm living on pi[C]lls
For which I thank G[G]od
