Pocket Knife

D                                           Bm
Take this old pocket knife that I have been keeping
D                                   Bm      [N.C]
hold it under pillow while you are sleeping.
                   D
Then cut a window into
                         Bm
your oldest and darkest dream
                     D
and let it wash over you,
                            Bm
that life-like, love light beam.

[Chorus]
                     D
If trouble comes tonight
                     A
remember your pocket knife
                Em
to cut into the dark
                    D
and let in a little light
                     A
with this ol’ pocket knife.
                   Em
If trouble comes tonight
                     D
remember your pocket knife
       A
pocket knife.

D
Take your old weather worn boots
                   Bm
you were about to retire,
D                                 Bm
lace them together up on a phone wire.
                            D
We’ll walk into everyone’s ears
                           Bm
and we’ll talk about this love,
                       D
the only thing around here
                      Bm
there is never enough of.

[Chorus]
                     D
If trouble comes tonight
                     A
remember your pocket knife
                Em
to cut into the dark
                    D
and let in a little light
                     A
with this ol’ pocket knife.
                   Em
If trouble comes tonight
                     D
remember your pocket knife
       A
pocket knife.
                Em
to cut into the dark
                    D
and let in a little light
                     A
with this ol’ pocket knife.

[Bridge]
C                G C       Bm
Here we learn to shadow box
                            A
Here we learn to stay and fight
Em                        D
Here we know to pick old locks
                      A
Here we are bathed in light.

D                                           Bm
Take this old pocket knife that I have been keeping
D                                  Bm
hold it under pillow while you are sleeping.
