[Intro]
G#m C# F# B A#

[Verse 1]
 G#m
I cry at the start
           C#
 of every movie
   F#
I guess 'cause I wish
          B       A#
I was making things too
    Esus4
But I'm working for
     E        Esus4  E
the knife

[Verse 2]
 G#m
I used to think I
            C#
would tell stories
     F#
But nobody cared for
       B         A#
 the stories I had about
 Esus4       E
No good guys

[Verse 3]
 F#                  B
I always knew the world
moves on
     F#
I just didn't know it
       B          A#
would go without me
   G#m
I start the day high
         E
and it ends so low
        F#
'Cause I'm working
          B       A#
for the knife

G#m C# F# B E A

[Verse 4]
   G#m
I used to think I'd
      C#
be done by 20
    F#
Now at 29 the road ahead
           B
appears the same
        A#
Though maybe at 30
      B             A#
 I'll see a way to change
      Esus4              E
That I'm living for the knife

[Verse 5]
  F#
I always thought the
   B
 choice was mine
    F#
And I was right but
       B        A#
 I just chose wrong
    G#m
I start the day lying
      E
and end with the truth
    F#
That I'm dying for
      B        A#
 the knife

[Outro]
G#m E F# B
