Sharp Knife

[Intro]
F#m E F#m E

[Verse 1]
F#m
Time tick tick ticks after me
E
My mp3 is out of juice
I wrote a song for you but what’s the use
F#m E
How did we get knocked so loose, knocked so loose.
F#m
Someone I swore I’d never be
E
Who trades his dreams for security
Walks this city blindly
F#m
Lately it’s a little hard for me to see
E
Lately it’s a little hard for me to believe

[Pre-Chorus]
A
And it’s all disappearing
D
And it all falls apart
A
And it seems like the ending
D
Is a lot like the start

[Verse2]
F#m
Well nature has its own rules
E
Like gravity crushing me
And lies, I’m of the memory
F#m
Lately it’s a little hard for me to believe
E
At least you left a mark on me

[Pre-Chorus]
A
And I think there’s a reason
D
At least there’s a sign
A
And all that we call chaos
D
I will say it’s by design
D
But I’m just lying

[Chorus]
A
What you need is a sharp knife, son
F#m
To come back down from an all time low
A
I think I’m not the only one
E D
I wish I was a sharp knife
A
Swing that blade right through my life
E F#m
Careful, you could hurt someone
A E
I wish I was a sharp knife to cut

[Post-Chorus]
D Bm
A shiv,
D F#m
A shiv,
D Bm
A shiv,
D F#m F#m E
A shiv.

[Verse 3]
F#m
So new friend can you hear this?
E
Can we return to fearless?
F#m
Merry pranksters one and all
E
And walk that devil down the hall

[Pre-Chorus]
A
Yes it’s all disappearing
D
And we should all just go along
A
And it all would be so easy,
D
If we could say “just let it be .”
D
But that’s not me.

[Chorus]
A
What you need is a sharp knife, son.
F#m
You can come out of an all time low
A
Seems like I’m the only one
E D
I wish I was a sharp knife
A
Swing that blade right through my life
E F#m
Careful, you could hurt someone
A
I wish I was a sharp knife,
E
A sharp knife,
To cut.

[Post-Chorus]
D Bm
A shiv,
D F#m
A shiv,
D Bm
A shiv,
D F#m
A shiv.

A
What you need is a sharp knife son
F#m
You can come back down from an all time low
A
Seems like I’m the only one
E D
I wish I was a sharp knife.
A
Swing that blade right through my life
E F#m
Careful you could hurt someone
A
I wish I was a sharp knife
E
A sharp knife
To cut.
