[Intro]
E B C#m
E B E
[Verse 1]
E B C#m
I hit the cul-de-sac on the spiritual path
E B C#m C#m B A
Retraced my steps back home
A E
But the house burned down before I got there
B C#m
And I found myself alone
E B C#m
I tried to keep things in perspective
E B C#m C#m B A
As I hunted down the perpetrator
A E
Loaded up my toolkit with every hateful instrument
E B C#m
Now here we are thirty years later
[Chorus]
E B Asus2 G#m F#m
I'm getting into knives
Esus E B Asus2 G#m
I'm getting into knives
F#m Esus C#m B
I've been up and down the buffet
A E
Several different times
B C#m
I'm adjusting my focus, I'm getting into knives
[Verse 2]
E B C#m
I sought wisdom from the sages
E B C#m C#m B A
Consulted with master tacticians
A E
Met up with some guys who wouldn't tell me their last names
B C#m
They specialized in non-conventional munitions
E B C#m
Stayed on the scent like a bloodhound
E B C#m C#m B A
Followed the clues where they led
A E
Taste of hot ashes on my tongue all day
B C#m
I took my rifle with me to bed
[Chorus]
E B Asus2 G#m F#m
But I'm getting into knives
Esus E B Asus2 G#m F#m
I'm getting into knives
Esus C#m B A E
It's a gift to be simple, it's a gift to be free
B C#m
I'm adjusting my focus, I'm getting into knives
[Bridge]
D C#m
Held to my vision all these days
G# C#m C#m B A
While stray signals kept flooding the switchboard
A E
Came all this way for hunger
B
May I be worthy of my reward
E B C#m
I stood at the door, and I listened
E B C#m C#m B A
Rustled through my rucksack as quiet as I could
A E
You can't give me back what you've taken
B C#m
But you can give me something that's almost as good
[Chorus]
E B Asus2 G#m F#m
I'm getting into knives
Esus E B Asus2 G#m
I am getting into knives
F#m Esus C#m B A E
Behold, I stand at the door, and I knock, and then I knock twice
B E
I've adjusted my focus, I'm getting into knives
[Outro]
E B C#m
E B E
