He Won’t Knock – Ezra Vine
Standard Tuning Capo 3
Intro – Am G C x 2
Am G C
I've been biting down my tongue all through the afternoon
F Fm C
But now there's fractures in the glass around the snake pit
Am G C
Cos while you gave your monologues about aiming for the moon
F D/F# G
I found some obvious flaws in your spaceship
E Am G C
And though I hate to blow the foghorn, and the point is moot
F C G E
There's a thin man approaching in a suit and leather boots
Am C F C
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
F Am E F
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Am C F C
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
F Am G F
That he's memorised the numbers right above your letterbox
D F-Fm Am.....
And when he comes baby, he won't knock
....Instrumental – Am G C x2
Am G C
Giggling along on your Sunday dream
F Fm C
Since when did you start acting like you owned us?
Am G C
Cause you change your disquisitions by the hour, it seems
F D/F# G
And your parading around is makin' me nauseous
E Am G C
You better drown your desperation in a Molotov
F C G E
But you can't supplicate the scratching at your back door because
Am C F C
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
F Am E F
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Am C F C
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
F Am G F
That he's memorised the numbers right above your letterbox
D F
And when he comes baby
D F-Fm
When he comes baby
C
He won't knock
Bridge Intro – E Am E Am G C G C
E Am
I know it's harder
E Am
To just surrender
E Am
When your white flag, mister,
E Am
Is spoiled by murder
G C G E Am C Dm-G-E
But you threw them all to hell and if I was you I'd run and hide
Am G C
But you're still slumbering away on your minute hand
F Fm C
Swilling martinis like you're not locked inside the doghouse
Am G C
And though you decorate your days with a fair and equitable grace
F D/F# G
You're simply swine in a suit playing honest
E Am G C
But that thin man's approaching in his heavy leather boots
F C G E
And he's waiting on the moment when he gets a hold of you
Am C F C
You can kick and you can scream and you can wail all you want
F Am E F
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Am C F C
Babe, your're next in line for the chopping block
F Am G F
And he's memorised the numbers right above your letterbox
D F
And when he comes baby
Am C F
Yeah when he comes baby
Dm G E
When he comes baby
Am
He won't knock
It's my first submission and have fun :)
