Under The Knife by One Man Romance
Under The Knife
Intro (lots of downstrumming, only the first two strings or so): D/F# G (4x)
First verse (same style as intro):
D/F# G D/F# G
I got a phone call from Lake Worth
D/F# G D/F# G
That you were coming back today
D/F# G D/F# G
I spent three hours cleaning out your apartment
D/F# G D/F# G
In hopes that you would want to stay
A G
And maybe somewhere there's an anchor
A G
Rusting from all the desperate times we've sighed
A G
I'll tattoo it on my arm I'll cut the sleeves off from my shirt
A G
The only cliché I'll ever try to hide
Second Verse: Much brighter, use them upper strings.
D/F# G (3x) A
D/F# G D/F# G
I got a phone call from Lake Worth
D/F# G D/F# G
You just got on to ninety-five
D/F# G D/F# G
I spent three hours learning how to make a quilt
D/F# G D/F# G
So we'd have something to do when you arrived
A G
And maybe somewhere there's a mattress
A G
We can curl up on when we finish the last square
A G
I'll prototype a groundbreaking romantic blanket fortress
A G
When we're inside we'll never just not care
Chorus:
D G D G
Oh I'm trying to be friends
D G D G
I'm trying to find the place between where hatred ends and love begins
D G D G
I only think in black and white
D G D G A
And X-Ray images of our hearts as they lie side by side
A D
Our love is under the knife
Instrumental bit (Chorus chords)
Third Verse: (Pluck bass string, strum chord once)
D G D G
I got a phone call from Lake Worth
D G D G
You turned around and went back home
D G D G
I spent seven hours destroying your apartment
D G D G
And drinking all the Listerine you own
(One strum each now, forget the bass string)
A G
And maybe someday you'll be happy
A G
That might mean never seeing me again
A G
And when I purge myself of all the mouthwash and self-pity
A G
I'll let go and let our hearts begin to mend
Chorus (raucous strumming now):
D G D G
Oh I'm trying to be friends
D G D G
I'm trying to find the place between where hatred ends and love begins
D G D G
I only think in black and white
D G D G A
And X-Ray images of our hearts as they lie side by side
A D
Our love is under the knife
Instrumental (Chorus chords)
A D (one)
Our love's under the knife
