[Intro]
Am D G C G
 
[Verse 1]
  Am                         D
I cry at the start of every movie
       G                    C              G
I guess 'cause I wish I was making things, too
       Am          F          G C G
But I'm working for the knife
 
 
[Verse 2]
  Am                         D
I used to think I would tell stories
     G                   C            G
But nobody cared for the stories I had about
Am        F
No good guys
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                  C
I always knew the world moves on
  G                         C          G
I just didn't know it would go without me
  Am                        F
I start the day high and it ends so low
       G              C          G
'Cause I'm working for the knife
 
[Instrumental]
Am D G C G
 
[Verse 4]
  Am                          D
I used to think I'd be done by twenty
   G                              C
Now at twenty-nine, the road ahead appears the same
       G                     C            G
Though maybe at thirty, I'll see a way to change
        Am         F
That I'm living for the knife
 
 
[Verse 5]
G                          C
I always thought the choice was mine
G                       C          G
And I was right, but I just chose wrong
  Am                       F
I start the day lying and end with the truth
      G            C        G
That I'm dying for the knife
 
[Outro]
Am F G C G
