[Verse 1]
D              D4   D    D              D4  D
   I let your love in,      I have the scar,
D              D4    D   D                D4   D
    I felt the ra - zor    ...against my heart,
G           Gadd#11 G    G          Gadd#11  G   D
   I thought  we   were   ...both in  all   the way,
           A              A4    A
But you caught it by the han - dle,
G          A7         D              D4  D
   And I caught it by  ...the blade!


[Verse 2]
D              D4     D   D                  D4  D
   You said, "Good - bye,    ...it's not the end,
D               D4  D     D                    D4   D
   And, if you need me,    ...I'm still your friend"
G               Gadd#11 G    G      Gadd#11  G   D
    Well, that's  eas - y    ...for   you   to  say,
             A               A4    A
'Cause you caught it by the han - dle,
G          A7               D
   And I caught it by the blade!


[Verse 3]
  Bm                  G            A              D
 That's the risk you run when you love, when you love,
 D/C#      Bm                 G           A
  And you give it all you've  ....got to give,

  Bm              G              A
Knowing all a - long there's a chance,
            D     D/C#         Bm              G
There's a chance   ....you'll reach, and they won't,
         A4             A           A
You'll bleed, and they   ...don't!


[Verse 4]
D                 D4   D     D              D4  D
    For you, it's o - ver,  ...for me, it's not,
D           D4    D     D                  D4    D
    I kept try - ing,    ...and you just stopped,
G         Gadd#11  G    G         Gadd#11  G   D
    Now I  know   how   ...you can sound  so brave,
             A                A4     A
'Cause you caught it by the handle, baby,
G          A7               D
   And I caught it by the blade!


[Verse 5]
  Bm                  G            A              D
 That's the risk you run when you love, when you love,
