The Knife In My Back tab by Alec Benjamin

Tabs

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

The tab is repeated throughout the entire song so I filled in the different tab part just with the chord name.

Verse 1:
FF      G+G
I'm slowly learning
      A minorAm        E minorEm
That the things you promised me
   FF        G+G
Are burning like the embers
   A minorAm
Of a thousand willow trees, and

FF       G+G
Every single secret
      A minorAm      E minorEm
Has been broadcast like TV
   FF          G+G
Now, all the threads are severed
      A minorAm
That were tying you to me

Chorus:
FF G+G    A minorAm
I thought we
    E minorEm      FF
Were friends, but now we're
 G+G   A minorAm
Enemies
FF G+G    A minorAm
I thought we
    E minorEm      FF
Were friends, but now we're
 G+G   A minorAm
Enemies

              FF
Pull your knife out of my back
    G+G    A minorAm  E minorEm
Your blood runs black
        FF         G+G        A minorAm
I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast
     FF  G+G
I let you in
       A minorAm E minorEm
I held you close
            FF       G+G       A minorAm
My blood flows like a river 'cause I trusted you the most

FF G+G  A minorAm         FF G+G  A minorAm E minorEm
And now I know it's over (woo-oooo) x4

Verse 2:
FF     G+G      A minorAm      E minorEm
I was so naive I even let you in my home
 FF        G+G       A minorAm
Took you out for dinner and let you wear my clothes
FF      G+G      A minorAm       E minorEm
I can't even breathe; I have your scent still in my nose
   FF       G+G       A minorAm
It's like I almost miss you; I should have known


Chorus:
FF G+G    A minorAm
I thought we
    E minorEm      FF
Were friends, but now we're
 G+G   A minorAm
Enemies
FF G+G    A minorAm
I thought we
    E minorEm      FF
Were friends, but now we're
 G+G   A minorAm
Enemies
