When I Played Around With Knives by John Mann
When I Played Around With Knives
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:3rd fret
C G Am F
Played a game in my younger life, a lot like twister but with a knife
C G Am F
Threw the point into the ground to bend my brother's body round
C G Am F
No one bled and if they did, didn't cry
C G Am F
Don't recall a watchful eye
F C G C
I think we led safer lives when we played around with knives
C G Am F
Left the house for hours on end, home to eat then back again
C G Am F
Raced around the monkey trails with my back-step brakes that never failed
C G Am F
I road through the woods alone,
C G Am F
out of sight and far from home
F C G C
I think I got the richer life on my rusting no-speed bike
F G C F
When patience broke and I was pulled to my room
F G C F
I took it on the ass with the same wooden spoon
F G
That beat the cookie dough
C G Am F
No kid ever disappeared, and if they did we'd never hear
C G Am F
The sordid details of their deaths never landed on my doorstep
C G Am F
I was taught to be polite,
C G Am F
how to eat and sit upright
C G Am F
But I was left alone to fight,
C G Am F
figure out if that felt right
F C G C
I think we got richer lives on our rusting, no-speed bikes
F C G C
I think we led safer lives when we played around with knives
