[G][C][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Em]I have never liked the[Am] box of knives
You said was [D]a paradox be
[C]cause you're [Am]kind
But [Em]withstood a childhood
that [Am]robbed [C]you [Am]blind
Of [Em]love[G][C][Am][Em][C][Am]
that [Em]was[Am][C][Am]
[Em]safe[Am] and [Em]so yo[Am]u learned to fight

[Verse 2]
[Am]What do I do [C]with this [Dm]stuff?[D]
It seem[Am]s like yesterday I
[C]called you [Dsus4]up[D]
[G]I had a [Am]terrible case [G]of [C]the past
[D]I didn't know how to [G]get it [C]off
I didn't [Am]know how to get [G]it off
[C]

[Verse 3]
[D]And you [Am]took[G]
Your ma[C]chete
And you [G]sliced through the vines
that wrapped [C]around me
And you [Em]said
"I don't know [D]what I'm [C]doing
So I'll just [Am]keep on cutting
[G]It's worth a little blood to
get your [C]hands free"

[Verse 4]
[C]I h[Em]ave never liked[D] the b[Am]ox of kn[C]ives[Am]
You [Em]said was a para[D]dox
be[Am]cause [C]you're kind
[Am]But withstoo[Em]d a childhood
[D]that rob[Am]bed you[C] bli[Am]nd
Of love [Em]that was safe [Am]and so
you learned [C]to [Am]fight

[Verse 5]
[Em]I have nev[D]er liked the box[C] of kn[Am]ives
You [Em]said was [D]a paradox be
[C]cause you're [Am]kind
But [Em]withstood a childhood
[D]that rob[C]bed you bli[Am]nd
Of [Em]love that was [D]safe and so
you [C]learned to [Am]fight

[Verse 6]
[Am]What do I do [C]with [Dsus4]this stuff?[D]
[Am]It seems like yester[C]day I
was in [Dsus4]love[D][G]
I kept [Am]of covering t[Bm]he soft
parts [C]up[Am]
[D]I didn't know how to get [G]them [C]off
[Am]I didn't know how to get them off

[Verse 7]
[Am]
[D]And you [G]took your ma[Am]chet[C]e
And you hacked [G]through the
woods in the [C]surrounding
And you [Em]said
"I don't know [D]where I'm [C]going
I just know [Am]that i'm heading [G]from
The dead things piling up [C]behind me"
And you [G]took
Your ma[C]chete
And you [G]carved out a path to
my [C]chest and you said
[Em]"see
There's nothing [D]not
worth [C]keeping
You've felt so [Am]many beatings
But
[G]Nothing's going to work if
you be[C]lieve me
[G]Nothing's going to work if
you believe [Am]me"[C][Am]

[Verse 8]
[Em]I have nev[D]er liked the[C] box of kn[Am]ives
You [Em]said was [D]a paradox be
[C]cause you're [Am]kind
But [Em]withstood [D]a childhood
that [C]robbed you [Am]blind
Of [Em]love that [D]was safe and so
you [C]learned to [Am]fight

[Verse 9]
[Em]I have never liked the[C] box of kn[Am]ives
You [Em]said was a paradox
[D]becau[C]se you're kin[Am]d
But [Em]withstood a childhood
[D]that rob[C]bed you bli[Am]nd
Of [Em]love that was safe and so
you [C]learned to [Em]fight

[Verse 10]
[Em]I have never liked the box[Am] of knives
I took it [Em]to t[D]he oceanside the d[Am]ay you died
I stood out [Em]on the d[D]ock
No matter [Am]how [C]hard I tried
[Am]I couldn't drop [Em]them in
And [D]I col[C]lapsed [Am]and cried:
What do I do [C]with this stuff?

[Verse 11]
[Dsus4]
[G]It seems like [Am]yesterday [C]you
were [Dsus4]alive[D]
And it's [Am]as if you never r[G]eally di[C]ed
[D]And it's as if you nev[G]er really [C]died[Am]

[Verse 12]
And you [G]took
Your ma[C]chete
And you said
[G]"boo, guess who
But seriously, [C]beauty"
You said
"see?
[Em]You get the [D]drill now, don't you?
[C]It's not a w[Am]ill or won't
You [G]can't keep making
symbols out of [C]nothing"
So [G]I took your mac[C]hete
And I [G]sliced off your head and you laughed
[C]And you said
"see
[Em]It's just like anti matt[G]er
[C]It's dum[Am]bo's magic feather
[G]You don't need me here to cut [C]you
You don't need me here to cut [G]you
You don't need me here [C]to cut you
You don't [Em]need me [D]here to cut [D]you
[C]Free"
