[Verse 1]
E                          B
  Never mind the time when you
          A        B E
were all alone and I  Picked
              D
you up like a dirty bit of
B    E
honey Licked you clean and
        B                A
found a house of wax for you
       E
to stay You set fire to it
D         B
on your second full day


[Verse 2]
E
  Then I thought that we had
B                A
reached an understanding
E
  Wouldn't find coal at the
D              B
bottom of the stocking
E
  Instead you swung it at
   B               A
my head and nearly knocked
       E
me dead Thought about
           D
it while I sat there
    B
thinking just bled


[Chorus 1]
E C#m E C#m

A                        B
Pull the knife out of my back

E C#m E C#m

A                   B
Clean the blade and put it back

E C#m E C#m

A                        B
Pull the knife out of my back
  A           F#        B
Unless you're not quite done
        A      F#        B
Then go on and have more fun

[Verse 3]
E                         B
  I often think about the way
            A
that I will watch you die
E
  It's kind of creepy but
    D               B
I'm looking forward to it
E
  I'll probably try to linger
B         A
over it a little while
E
  You will fall down on your
D             B
own knife and I'll just smile


[Chorus 2]
E C#m E C#m

A                        B
Pull the knife out of my back

E C#m E C#m

A                   B
Clean the blade and put it back

E C#m E C#m

A                        B
Pull the knife out of my back
  A           F#        B
Unless you're not quite done
        A      F#        B
Then go on and have more fun

[Verse 4]
E                        B
  Two can play is really all
            A
that I have left to say
E
  Your edge is getting dull
     D               B
it's nearing time to sharpen
E                      B
  Get a mirror so that you can
           A       E
see what's gonna be Afraid
it's gonna look like
D        B
untimely death to me


[Chorus 3]
