[Verse 1]
F      C
Do you remember
      G
Making love on the hill
       Am      G      F
At the top of Topanga?
        C
Do you remember
  G
A handful of pills
     Am         G       F
On a midnight adventure?
  C     G    Am   G
I do, I do
 
F          C
Late in September
   G
It started to end
       Am         G      F
And I felt you pretending
            C
I couldn't surrender
            G
Through the high and the low
       Am        G        F
I just wanted to love you
   C    G    Am   G
I do, I do
 
[Chorus]
F           C                      G
All of the hurt you've been hiding away
           Am          G          F
Cuts me at once like a Switchblade
                 C
And take every stab you can take
         G                   Am      G   F
And I'll give it to ya, I'll give it to ya
 
F          C                          G
I always knew that you'd cut me some day
            Am         G        F
I fell in love with a Switchblade
             C
And I know that you did the same
          G              Am     G
So I'll give it to ya, give it to ya
 
[Instrumental]
|F      |C      |G      |Am   G
|F      |C      |G      |Am   G
 
[Verse 2]
F      C
We were electric
         G
We were wild, we were free
       Am              G      F
And I thought that you meant it
             C
It's hard to accept it
           G
That it's not meant to be
         Am      G     F
But I'll never regret it
    C       G   Am  G  F
I don't, I don't
      C        G      Am    G
No, I don't, I don't
 
[Chorus]
F           C                      G
All of the hurt you've been hiding away
           Am          G          F
Cuts me at once like a Switchblade
                 C
And take every stab you can take
         G                   Am      G
And I'll give it to ya, I'll give it to ya
 
F          C                          G
I always knew that you'd cut me some day
            Am         G        F
I fell in love with a Switchblade
             C
And I know that you did the same
          G              Am     G
So I'll give it to ya, give it to ya

[Bridge]
F             C
Long live the beautiful hearts
    G             Am        G
Who find love and tear it apart
F             C
Long live the beautiful hearts
    G             Am        G
Who find love and tear it apart
 
[Chorus]
F           C                      G
All of the hurt you've been hiding away
           Am          G          F
Cuts me at once like a Switchblade
                 C
And take every stab you can take
         G                   Am      G
And I'll give it to ya, I'll give it to ya
 
F          C                          G
I always knew that you'd cut me some day
            Am         G        F
I fell in love with a Switchblade
             C
And I know that you did the same
          G              Am     G
So I'll give it to ya, give it to ya

not too big of a deal but the lyrics after the bridge are put of order :/ they're the same chords so like I said it's not a huge deal but just letting you know. otherwise I LOVE this!

I loved this Tab, thank you so much. However, looking at videos of LP performing this song on Ukulele it doesn't seem like she plays the final G but goes straight from Am back to F. I think it sounds better this way, but was just curious about the difference. Any thoughts?
