Blade
View chords used in this chart
G Am
I took my blade, and I cut him deep
C
And the blood bloomed red on his crisp white shirt
G
For your party guests to see
I could've run in the night
Am
I could've slit his throat in his sleep
C
But I wanted you to see
G
The company you keep
D C
I thought we went together like violence on a balmy night
D G C
I thought being alone with a violent man made you feel alright
Em G
Can we get away tonight?
G
And your father said follow the money to the source
Am
That's what life is all about
C Em
Then you fuck the source
G
Till the money comes out
D
You say that I'm a brute
C
Cause I fell faster than you
D
But I've got a heart that's true
C Em
And there's nothing that I won't do
G
To get away with you
Solo: G Am C Em G
D
Smile lights the slander in her eyes
C
She's the dark clouds swirling in my skies
D
And the cocktail chatter all starts to dim
C
Like a doppler away from me she spins
D
On a bloom light sea she starts to swim
C Em
She betrayed me, all now on a whim
G
To get away with him
G
I took my blade
Am
But I couldn't get it all to drain
C Em
I could see him bleeding differently
G
Like teardrops in the rain
