Knives

KNIVES

VERSE-Am C F

A cross, a heart no longer beating

So we’re dealing with the devil tonight

But still we’re speaking softly

I hear you singing to the other side

VERSE-Am C F

She’s sleeping with the enemy

While murdering a friend

A kiss to betray, the silent flight

REFRAIN

G

And the knives

Am G

She’s gone, we’ll sing her to sleep

F G

This knife in my hand, grasping

DO VERSE

The lies! The song is growing louder

Were you wishing I would die tonight?

My back, the color crimson

Honey, pleas, the crime wasn’t mine

Won’t you keep it all inside

Don’t bite the feeding hand

A kiss to betray, the endless fuck

REF2

Am C

You’re gone; we’ll sing you to sleep

F G

Nothing in your hand, fading

BRIDGE

Am C

Liars never learn at all

F G

You’ve been given the chance to fly

So long, my dear

E

A thousand times goodbye
