The Knife In My Back chords by Alec Benjamin

Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
  Am           F
I'm slowly learning
            C                G
That the things you promised me
       Am                F
Are burning like the embers
        C               Em
Of a thousand willow trees
      Am             F
And every single secret
            C            G
Has been broadcast like TV
      Am                  F
Now all the threads are severed
            C           Em
That were tying you to me


Pre-Chorus:
Am         F
I thought we were friends
             C       Em
But now we're enemies
 Am        F
I thought we were friends
              C       Em
But now we're enemies


Chorus:
                            Am
Pull your knife out of my back
                   F
Your blood runs black
               C                                  Em
I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast
           Am
I let you in
              F
I held you close
                         C                             Em
My blood flows like a river 'cause I trusted you the most
                       Am   F   C   G
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)


Post-Chorus:
                       Am   F   C   G
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)
                       Am   F   C   G
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)
                       Am   F   C   G
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)


Verse 2:
Am          F
I was so naive
        C             G
I even let you in my home
   Am               F         C               Em
Took you out for dinner and let you wear my clothes
 Am              F
I can't even breathe
               C                G
I have your scent still in my nose
       Am             F       C
It's like I almost miss you
                 Em
I should have known


Pre-Chorus:
Am         F
I thought we were friends
             C       Em
But now we're enemies
 Am        F
I thought we were friends
              C       Em
But now we're enemies


Chorus:
                            Am
Pull your knife out of my back
                   F
Your blood runs black
               C                                  Em
I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast
           Am
I let you in
              F
I held you close
                         C                             Em
My blood flows like a river 'cause I trusted you the most
                       Am   F   C   G
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)


Post-Chorus:
                       Am   F   C   G
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)
                       Am   F   C   G
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)
                       Am   F   C   G
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)


Pre-Chorus:
Am         F
I thought we were friends
             C       Em
But now we're enemies
 Am        F
I thought we were friends
              C       Em
But now we're enemies


Chorus:
                            Am
Pull your knife out of my back
                   F
Your blood runs black
               C                                  Em
I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast
           Am
I let you in
              F
I held you close
                         C                             Em
My blood flows like a river 'cause I trusted you the most
                       Am   F   C   G
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)
