LIKE A KNIFE By: Secondhand Serenade intro D A Bm G Bm G I dream a lot, I know you say I`ve got to get away.

D A `The world is not yours for the taking` is all you ever say. Bm G I know I`m not the best for you, but promise that you`ll stay. D `Cause if I watch you go, you`ll see me wasting, A You`ll see me wasted away D A `Cause today, you walked out of my life Bm G `Cause today, your words felt like a knife Bm G D A I`m not living this life. Bm G Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain D A And no matter where I go it`s always pouring all the same. Bm G These streets are filled with memories both perfect and in pain D A And all I wanna do is love you but I`m the only one to blame. D A `Cause today, you walked out of my life Bm G `Cause today, your words felt like a knife I`m not living this life. A But what do I know, if you`re leaving All you did was stop the bleeding. Bm But these scars will stay forever, These scars will stay forever A And these words have no meaning If we cannot find the feeling G That we held on to together Try your hardest to remember D Stay with me, A Or watch me bleed, Bm G I need you just to breathe. D A `Cause today, you walked out of my life (stay with me, or watch me bleed) Bm G `Cause today, your words felt like a knife (i need you just to breathe.) D (D A Bm G D) I`m not living this life

(Repeat like 4 times) It's hard to get the beat on the intro but just listen to it and try. Hold the E2-chord so you can go directly into the "strumming intro". E You're under my skin B You're breaking in, C#m And the tasteless fights that filled our nights Asus2 Are starting to cave in, E You're under my skin B You're breaking in C#m And if Sundays what it takes to prove Asus2 I have nothing else to loose Chorus

STRUMMING INTRO: E2 G#m C#m Asus2 E2 G#m Speak with your tongue tied, I know that you're tired C#m But I just want to know, Asus2 Where you want to go I may be sad, But I'm not weak, This situation is bleak And your puffy eyes never lie, Your tears come from inside. Chorus: E G#m Asus2 Until Sunday I'll be waiting for an answer E G#m Asus2 I guess that yesterday's not good enough for you, E G#m Asus2 You know that I hate this song, E G#m Asus2 You know that I hate this song C#m B E2 Because it was written for you Drown your fears I'm feeling real Your glossy eyes The sadness they with me sorry don't need have seen

But you're way too deep to swim Back up again But somehow I can't find The moment you said goodbye

G C take a look at me so you can see how beautiful you are... (2x)
