[Em] [N]
[Em] I [G] have never [C] liked the marks [Am] of knives [Em] you said [G] was a [C] paradox
because [Am] you're kind [Em] but [G] withstood a [C] childhood that robbed [Am] you
blind [Em] of love [G] that was safe and [C] so you learned [Am] to [Em] fight
I [D] have never [C] liked the marks [Am] of [Em] knives you said [D] was a paradox [C] because
[Am] you're [Em] kind but [D] withstood a childhood [C] that robbed [Am] you
blind [Em] of love that [D] was safe and so [C] you learned to [Em] [Am] fight
[Em] I have [D] never liked [C] the marks of [Am] knives you [Em] said was [D] a paradox
[C] because you're [Am] kind but [Em] withstood [D] a childhood [C] that robbed you
[Am] blind [Em] of love that [D] was safe and so [C] you learned to [Em] fight
I [D] have never liked [C] the marks of [Em] knives you said was [D] a paradox
[C] because you're [Em] kind but withstood [D] a [C] [Em] childhood that robbed you
[D] blind of love that was safe and so [C] you learned to [Am] fight
What do I [C] do with the [D] stuff?
It [Am] seems like [C] yesterday I [Em] called you [D] up
I [Am] had a terrible [Bm] [C] case of the past I [D] didn't know [G] how to [C] get it off
I [Am] didn't know [Bm] how to [C] get it off
And you took [G]
your machete
And you sliced through the vines that wrapped [C] around me
[G] And you [Em] said I don't [D] know what I'm doing
[C] So I'll just [Am] keep on [G] cutting It's worth a little blood
To get [C] your arms free
I
[E] [D] have never [C] liked the marks [Am] of knives [Em] you said [D] was a paradox
[C] because you're [Am] kind [Em] but [D] withstood a childhood [C] that robbed you
[Am] blind [E] of love [D] that was safe and [C] so you learned to [Am] fight
[E] I [D] have never [C] liked the marks [Am] of knives [E] you said [D] was a paradox
[C] because you're [B] kind [E] but withstood [D] a childhood [C] that robbed you
[Am] [Em] blind of love that [D] was safe and so [C] you learned to [Am] fight
What [C] do I do with the [D] stuff?
It [Am] seems like yesterday [C] I wasn't [D] loved
I [Am] kept on [Bm] hardening [Em] the soft [C] parts up I [D] didn't know [G] how to [C] get them off
I [Am] didn't know how [Bm] to get [C] them off [G] And you took
your machete And you hacked through the wood in the [D] surrounding
[G] And you said [Em] I don't [D] know where I'm going [C] I just [Am] know that I'm [G] heading
From the dead things piled up behind [C] me
And you [G] took your [C] machete
Then [G] you carved out a path through my [C] chest
And you said [Em] see there's [D] nothing not worth keeping
[C] You've felt [Am] so many [G] beatings but nothing's gonna work
If you [C] believe me
[G] Nothing's gonna work if you believe [C] me
[Em] I [D] have never [C] liked the parts [Am] of knives [E] you said [D] was a paradox
[C] because you're [B] kind [Em] but [D] withstood a childhood [C] that robbed you
[Em] blind of love [D] that was safe and [C] so you learned [Am] to fight
[Em] I have never [C] liked the marks [Am] of knives [Em] you said was a paradox
[C] because [Am] you're kind [Em] but withstood a childhood [C] that robbed you
[Am] [Em] blind of love that [D] was safe and [C] so you learned [Am] to fight
[Em] I [G] have never [C] liked the [Am] parts of knives [Em] I took it [D] to the ocean [Am] side the day you died
[Em] I stood out [G] on the dock no [Am] matter how hard I [Em] tried
I couldn't [D] drop it in and [C] my glass [Am] hand cried
What do I [C] do with the [D] stuff?
It [Am] seems like [C] yesterday you were [Em] [D] alive and [Am] it's as if you [Bm] never [C] really died
[D] [G] You never [C] really died
And you [G] took your [C] machete
You said [G] boo, guess who?
Seriously,
[C] beauty
You said [Em] see, you get [E] the [D] drill now don't [C] you?
It's not a [Am] will or won't you?
[G] Can't keep making symbols out of nothing
So I took your [C] machete
And I [G] sliced off your hand
And you [C] said
You said [Em] see, it's just [D] like empty [C] matter
It's a dumb [Am] girl's magic
But [G] you don't need me here to cut [C] you
You don't need me here to cut
[G]
You don't need me here to cut you
[C]
You don't need me here to cut you
[Em]
You don't need [D] me here to cut you
[C] Free
