The Knife In My Back Tab by Alec Benjamin

The Knife In My Back tab by Alec Benjamin

Guitar Tab

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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

Verse 1:
F            G
I'm slowly learning
           Am                Em
That the things you promised me
     F               G
Are burning like the embers
      Am
Of a thousand willow trees, and

F             G
Every single secret
           Am           Em
Has been broadcast like TV
     F                   G
Now, all the threads are severed
           Am
That were tying you to me


Chorus:
F  G       Am
I  thought we
        Em            F
Were friends, but now we're
  G     Am
Enemies
F  G       Am
I  thought we
        Em            F
Were friends, but now we're
  G     Am
Enemies

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

F  G   Am                 F  G   Am Em
And now I know it's over (woo-oooo) x4


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


Chorus:
F  G       Am
I  thought we
        Em            F
Were friends, but now we're
  G     Am
Enemies
F  G       Am
I  thought we
        Em            F
Were friends, but now we're
  G     Am
Enemies

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

                           F
Pull your knife out of my back

Your blood runs black
               F                 G               Am
I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast
          F   G
I let you in
             Am  Em
I held you close
                        F              G              Am
My blood flows like a river 'cause I trusted you the most

F  G   Am                 F  G   Am Em
And now I know it's over (woo-oooo) x4
