Chord Like A Knife

Tuning: Standard, Capo on 3rd fret

Intro: C – G - Am - F

  Am
I dream a lot, I know you say
     F
I’ve got to get away
    C
The world is not yours for the taking
   G
Is all you ever say
  Am
I know I’m not the best for you
    F
But promise that you’ll stay
           C
Cause if I watch you go

You’ll see me wasting 
       G
You’ll see me wasting away


Chorus:
         C
‘Cause today 
                      G
You walked out of my life
        Am
‘Cause today 
                         F
Your words felt like a knife
                       Am – F – C - G
I’m not living this life

 Am

Goodbyes are meant for lonely people 
F
Standing in the rain
       C
And no matter where I go 
            G
It’s always pouring all the same
     Am
These streets are filled with memories
     F
Both perfect and in pain
          C
And all I wanna do is love you
            G
But I’m the only one to blame


(Chorus) 

            G
But what do I know if you’re leaving

All you did was stop the bleeding
         Am
But these scars will stay forever

These scars will stay forever
          G
And these words they have no meaning

If we cannot find the feeling
        F
That we held on to together

Try your hardest to remember


C
Stay with me
   G
Or watch me bleed
 Am               F
I need you just to breathe


(Chorus) 

End: C – G – Am – F - C
