[Intro]
F#m E x2
[Verse 1]
F#m
Time tick tick ticks after me
E
my MP3 is out of juice
I wrote a song for you
but what's the use?
F#m
How did we get
knocked so loose
E
Knocked so loose
[Verse 2]
F#m
Someone I swear I'll never be
E
who trades his dreams for security
Walks this city blindly
Lately it's a little
F#m
hard for me to see
Lately it's a little
E
hard for me to believe
[Chorus 1]
A
And it's all disappearing
D
and it all falls apart
A
And it seems like the ending
D
is a lot like the start
[Verse 2]
F#m
Nature has its own rules
E
like gravity crushing me
And liars are robbed of
memory Lately it's a little
F#m
hard for me to believe
E
At least you left a mark on me
[Chorus 2]
A
And I think there's a reason
D
at least there's a sign
A
And all that we call chaos
D
I will say is by design
But I'm just lying
[Chorus 3]
D
What you need is
A
a sharp knife soul
To come back down
F#m
from an all time low
A
Seems like I'm the only one
E D
I wish I was a sharp knife
Swing that blade right
A E/G#
through my life Careful
F#m
you could hurt someone
A
I wish I was a sharp knife
E
To cut
D Bm

D F#m

D F#m

[Post Chorus]
F#m E
[Verse 3]
F#m
So new friend can you hear this?
E
Can we return to fearless?
F#m
Merry pranksters one and all
E
And walk that devil down the hall
[Chorus 4]
A
Yes it's all disappearing
D
and we should all just go
A
along And all would be so
D
easy if we could say Just
let it be But that's not me
[Chorus 5]
D
What you need is
A
a sharp knife soul
To come back down
F#m
from an all time low
A
Seems like I'm the only one
E D
I wish I was a sharp knife
Swing that blade right
A E/G#
through my life Careful
F#m
you could hurt someone
A
I wish I was a sharp knife
