-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                      LIKE A KNIFE - Secondhand Serenade
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: Capo on 1st

   C   F   Am  F  or like this:
e|-2---0---2---3-|  |-0---0---0---0-| so it's actually
B|-3---2---3---3-|  |-3---3---3---3-| Dsus2 and Asus4
G|-2---2---4---0-|  |-2---2---4---0-|
D|-0---2---4---0-|  |-0---2---4---0-|
A|-x---0---2---2-|  |-x---0---2---2-|
E|-x---x---2---3-|  |-x---x---x---3-|

*Note: If you play the chords the second way,
and downtune your high E string to a D,
it sounds closer to the actual recording.
I'm not sure how he actually plays it.*


C F Am F


  Am                               F
I dream a lot, I know you say I've got to get away.
     C                                     F
"The world is not yours for the taking" is all you ever say.
  Am                                 F
I know I'm not the best for you, but promise that you'll stay.
            C
'Cause if I watch you go, you'll see me wasting,
       F
You'll see me wasted away


         C                          F
'Cause today, you walked out of my life
         Am                            F
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife
                     Am F C F
I'm not living this life.


    Am                               F
Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain
       C                             F
And no matter where I go it's always pouring all the same.
      Am                                    F
These streets are filled with memories both perfect and in pain
          C                                F
And all I wanna do is love you but I'm the only one to blame.


         C                          F
'Cause today, you walked out of my life
         Am                            F
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life.


            F
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
          F
And these words 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,
   F
Or watch me bleed,
  Am                 F
I need you just to breathe.


         C                          F      
'Cause today, you walked out of my life
(stay with me, or watch me bleed)
         Am                          F
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife
(i need you just to breathe.)
                     C (C F Am F C)
I'm not living this life.
