Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
          F                        Am
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed

Everybody got this broken feeling
           F                        Am
Like their father or their dog just died
          Dm                 E

Give or take a night or two
          Dm
Everybody knows you've been discrete
           G                       Am
There were so many people you just had to meet

Without your clothes
    E         Am
But everybody knows
 
Am
Everybody knows that it's now or never

When you've done a line or two

Just a shining artifact of the past
              Dm
And everybody knows that the scene is dead
                       G             Am
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
             E     E7

Although I have nothing against using a capo, I have many times, Don Henley's version of this does not. If you listen to the voicing of the chords they are all barre chords with no capo. The open string chords just sound different.
