Lyrics

[Intro]
| G#5 | C#5 |

[Verse 1]
F#5 B5
A#5  G#5                         C#5
   I cry at the start of every movie
       F#5                      B5          A#5
I guess   'cause I wish I was making things too
       A5           E
But I'm  working for the knife

[Verse 2]
Asus2
E  G#                        C#
 I used to think I would tell  stories
      F#                    B
But nobody cared for the stories I had about
A
 No good guys

[Verse 3]
E F#                     B
 I  always knew the world moves on
      F#                       B          A#
I just  didn't know it would go without me
  G#                            E
I start the day high and it ends so low
          F#           B         A#
'Cause I'm  working for the knife

[Break]
         | G# | C# |
| F# | B | E  |

[Verse 4]
A  G#                          C#
 I used to think I'd be done by  twenty
   F#
Now  at twentynine,
              B
the road ahead appears the same
      F#                        B               A#
Though  maybe at thirty I'll see a way to change
        A          E
That I'm living for the knife

[Verse 5]
 F#                         B
I  always thought the choice was mine
F#                          B           A#
  And I was right but I just chose wrong
  G#                         E
I start the day lying and end with the truth
        F#                   B A#
That I'm  dying for the knife

[Outro]
| G# | E | F# | B |
