Verse 1:
G                     C            D
I have a fair love to whom I'm not true
 C                           G       D
For this, I've no reason that'd satisfy you
 G                      C       D
I thought myself a gentleman and kind
 C                          G             D
Yet, to her good soul and beauty, I've willed myself blind

Chorus:
G   C         D
You are my cutting knife
 C                  D
You cut me through and through
 G   C         D
Darlin', you are my cutting knife
 C                  D
Your blade is sharp and true, dear
 C                  D
Your blade is sharp and true

Verse 2:
 G                    C          D
She visits me nightly in the dreamy deep
 C                                           D
Where I walk from door to door with these secrets I keep
 G                       C          D
Her sweet arms around me, I toss and I turn
 C                                D
Her reigns of mercy, holding me as I burn


Chorus:
G   C         D
You are my cutting knife
 C                  D
You cut me through and through
G   C         D
You are my cutting knife
 C                  D
Your blade is sharp and true, dear
 C                  D
Your blade is sharp and true

Verse 3:
 G
The truth in your eyes washes over me
 C                         G        D
As I measure my cruelty to the finest degree
 G                        C         D
I built a house for this love that tears us apart
 C                                    D
There I sup on your trust and I dine on your heart


Chorus:
G   C         D
You are my cutting knife
 C                  D
You cut me through and through
 G   C         D
Darlin', you are my cutting knife
 C                  D
Your blade is sharp and true, dear
 C                  D
Your blade is sharp and true
G   C         D
You are my cutting knife
 C                  D
You cut me through and through
 G   C         D
Darlin', you are my cutting knife
 C                  D
Your blade is sharp and true
 C                  D
Your blade is sharp and true
