He Won't Knock chords by Ezra Vine

Tuning: Capo 3


Intro - Am G C x2

          Am             G                      C
I've been biting down my tongue all through the afternoon
          F                      Fm               C
But now there's fractures in the glass around the snake pit
          Am                 G           C
Cos while you gave your monologues about aiming for the moon
             F             F#7      G
I found some obvious flaws in your spaceship

             E                Am           G        C
And though I hate to blow the foghorn, the point is moot
          F        C                G                E
There's a thin man approaching in a suit and leather boots

Am                   C                 F      C
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
F               Am            E            F
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Am                   C       F       C
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
          F             Am            G                F
That he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
    D                 F-Fm       Am....
And when he comes baby, he won't knock


....Instrumental - Am G C x2

Am       G             C
Giggling along on your Sunday dream
      F            Fm                    C
Since when did you start acting like you owned us?
          Am          G                    C
Cause you change your disquisitions by the hour, it seems
         F               F#7           G
And your parading around is makin' me nauseous



           E               Am          G   C
You better drown your desperation in a Molotov
              F              C                  G         E
But you can't supplicate the scratching at your back door because


Am                   C                 F      C
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
F               Am            E            F
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Am                   C       F       C
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
          F             Am            G                F
That he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
    D                 F
And when he comes baby
D                 F-Fm
When he comes baby
         C
He won't knock


Bridge Intro - E Am E Am G C G C

E           Am
I know it's harder
E          Am
To just surrender
          E           Am
When your white flag, mister,
   E          Am
Is spoiled by murder
G                  C           G      E     Am      C       Dm-G-E
But you threw them all to hell and if I was you I'd run and hide


                 Am         G            C
But you're still slumbering away on your minute hand
         F            Fm                            C
Swilling martinis like you're not locked inside the doghouse
               Am            G           C
And though you decorate your days with a fair and equitable grace
              F          F#7          G
You're simply swine in a suit playing honest


         E          Am                 G             C
But that thin man's approaching in his heavy leather boots
         F              C              G              E
And he's waiting on the moment when he gets a hold of you


        Am       C                  F            C
You can kick and scream and you can wail all you want
F               Am            E            F
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Am                   C        F            C
Babe, you're next in line for the chopping block
         F             Am            G                F
And he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
    D                 F
And when he comes baby
D                 F-Fm
Yeah when he comes baby
         Am
He won't knock
