Sharp Knife Chords & Tabs
This song has a wicked taberature, and if you want the full experience I'd recommend
this version: http://www.3eb.co.uk/archive/index.php/t-10827.html
But here are some simpler chords if you just want to sing along :). You can lose the
capo and just barre at the same spots, but this is how I like to play it.
CAPO 5
E 022100
Asus x00220
C#m x46650
Bsus x24430
VERSE:
C#m
Time tick tick ticks after me
Bsus
My mp3 is out of juice
Asus
I wrote a song for you but what's the use
C#m Bsus Asus
How did we get knocked so loose, knocked so loose.
VERSE:
C#m
Someone I swore I'd never be
Bsus
Who trades his dreams for security
Asus
Walks this city blindly
C#m Bsus
Lately it's a little hard for me to see
Asus
Lately it's a little hard for me to believe
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/third_eye_blind/sharp_knife_crd.html ]
E Asus
And it's all disappearing
E Asus
And it all falls apart
E Asus
And it seems like the ending
E Asus
Is a lot like the start
Well nature has its own rules
Like gravity crushing me
And lies, I'm of the memory
Lately it's a little hard for me to believe
At least you left a mark on me
And I think there's a reason
At least there's a sign
And all that we call chaos
I will say it's by design
But I'm just lying
E
What you need is a sharp knife soul
Asus
To come back down from an all time low
Bsus
Seems Ive got the only one
C#m
I wish I was a sharp knife
E
Swing that blade right through my life
Asus
Careful, you could hurt someone
Bsus
I wish I was a sharp knife
to cut!
C#m C#m C#m
A shiv,
C#m C#m C#m
A shiv,
C#m C#m C#m
A shiv,
C#m C#m C#m
A shiv.
The rest repeats these progressions. Hope you enjoy...I wrote this out because I
couldn't find any simple ways to play this great song.
P.S. You can try different E chords in the chorus (I'm partial to x79900 from time to
time, and then x09900 is an complementary A)
