CHORUS:
Em      D               C       Am
I have never liked the box of knives
     Em         D          C           Am
You said was a paradox because you're kind
     Em           D              C           Am
But withstood a trial till that robbed you, blind
    Em            D                C         Am
Of love that was safe and so you learned to fight

    Em            D                C         Am
Of love that was safe and so you learned to fight

I have never liked the box of knives
     Em         D          C           Am
You said was a paradox because you're kind
     Em           D              C           Am
But withstood a trial till that robbed you, blind

VERSE:
 Am       C             Em D
What do I do with the stuff
               Am       C            Em D
It seems like yesterday I called you up
         Bm       Em          C
I had a terrible case of the past
          D           G      C
I didn't know how to get it off
          Am         Bm      C
I didn't know how to get it off


PRE-CHORUS:
             G
And you took
         C
Your machete
          G                                          C
And you sliced through the vines that wrapped around me
         G
And you said
   Em                 D
I dont know what i'm doing
C             Bm      Am
So I'll just keep on cutting
       G                               C
It's worth a little blood to get your arms free


CHORUS:
Em      D               C       Am
I have never liked the box of knives
     Em         D          C           Am
You said was a paradox because you're kind
     Em           D              C           Am
But withstood a trial till that robbed you, blind
    Em            D                C         Am
Of love that was safe and so you learned to fight


CHORUS:
Em      D               C       Am
I have never liked the box of knives
     Em         D          C           Am
You said was a paradox because you're kind
     Em           D              C           Am
But withstood a trial till that robbed you, blind
    Em            D                C         Am
Of love that was safe and so you learned to fight


VERSE:
 Am       C             Em D
What do I do with the stuff
               Am       C         Em D
It seems like yesterday I was in love
           Bm       Em              C
I kept on hardening the soft parts out
          D           G        C
I didn't know how to get them off
          Am         Bm        C
I didn't know how to get them off


PRE-CHORUS:
         G
And you took
         C
Your machete
         G                                 C
And you hacked through the wood in the surrounding
         G
And you said
Em                 D
I dont where I'm going
   C         Bm       Am
I just know that I'm heading
          G                          C
From the dead things piled up behind me


PRE-CHORUS:
         G
And you took
        C
Your machete
         G                        C
And you carved out a path to my chest
              G
And you said see
  Em             D
There's nothing not worth keeping
 C           Bm   Am
You felt so many beatings
     G                            C
But nothings gonna work if you believe me
     G                            C
But nothings gonna work if you believe me


CHORUS:
Em      D               C       Am
I have never liked the box of knives
     Em         D          C           Am
You said was a paradox because you're kind
     Em           D              C           Am
But withstood a trial till that robbed you, blind
    Em            D                C         Am
Of love that was safe and so you learned to fight


CHORUS:
Em      D               C       Am
I have never liked the box of knives
     Em         D          C           Am
You said was a paradox because you're kind
     Em           D              C           Am
But withstood a trial till that robbed you, blind
    Em            D                C         Am
Of love that was safe and so you learned to fight


CHORUS:
Em      D               C       Am
I have never liked the box of knives
     Em            D               C      Am
I'd take it to the ocean side the day you die
    Em              D              C          Am
I stood out on the dock no matter how hard I tried
   Em              D                 C        Am
I couldn't drop it in a fight could last and die


VERSE:
 Am       C             Em  D
What do I do with the stuff
               Am        C         Em  D
It seems like yesterday you were alive
            Bm            Em     C
And it's as if you never really died
             D            G      C
And it's as if you never really died


PRE-CHORUS:
         G
And you took
        C
Aour machete
          G                             C
You said boo, guess who, but seriously beauty
          Em                        D
You said see you got the drill now don't you
 C          Bm     Am
It's not a will or wont you
 G                                C
Can't keep making symbols out of nothing


PRE-CHORUS:
      G
So I took
        C
Your machete
        G                       C
And I sliced off your hand into after
          G   Em                  D
You said see it's just like anti-matter
 C            Bm       Am
It's dumbers matching favel
