The Knife

Dm                     C
One night you got into my head
          Dm                          C
with the cold bright fear that stroke me dead
          Dm                C
And your body lay heavy in our bed
           Dm                      C
with your blood stained tears on your chest
Dm                     C
Our love is never what it was
       Dm             C
Never bold enough to carry us,
          Dm                  C
In the beginning I wanted you so much
Dm               C
Fire and dirt, then dust
    Dm              C
So love, would you save her
         A#                          C
Is she everything you bet upon your life?!
    Dm            C
So love, did you need her
      A#                                 C
Is it all because you fell against the KNIFE
    Dm              C
And now, can you hold her
      A#                                 C
Do you see her around the shadow of the KNIFE
    Dm              C
So love, have you lost her,
         A#      C     Dm
Does it turn you up inside?!
Dm                             C
One day, I'll sleep and never wake
          Dm                     C
And they outtake the color from my face
  Dm                      C
This is all a pay for my mistakes,
Dm                       C
Old things wither then drink
    Dm              C
So love, would you save her
         A#                          C
Is she everything you bet upon your life?!
    Dm            C
So love, did you need her
      A#                                 C
Is it all because you fell against the KNIFE
    Dm              C
And now, can you hold her
      A#                                 C
Do you see her around the shadow of the KNIFE
    Dm              C
So love, have you lost her,
         A#      C     Dm
Does it turn you up inside?!
    Dm  C         A#     C
Will I hold your hand tonight
    Dm       C         A#     C
And how I'd hold your hand tonight
         Dm              A#
Did you work so hard to keep her
         Dm             C
Did you tried so hard despite?!
        Dm                   A#
Was it hurt old heart that freed her?
         A#          C
Come on home, song, tight
    Dm              C
So love, would you save her
         A#                          C
Is she everything you bet upon your life?!
    Dm            C
So love, did you need her
      A#                                 C
Is it all because you fell against the KNIFE
    Dm              C
And now, can you hold her
      A#                                 C
Do you see her around the shadow of the KNIFE
    Dm              C
So love, have you lost her,
         A#      C     Dm
Does it turn you up inside?!
