Getting Into Knives chords by The Mountain Goats

Intro:
E B C#m
E B E

Verse 1:
     E    B     C#m
I hit the cul-de-sac on the spiritual path
E B           C#m  C#m B A
Retraced my steps back home
A                 E
But the house burned down before I got there
     B      C#m
And I found myself alone

E      B         C#m
I tried to keep things in perspective
E   B         C#m  C#m B A
As I hunted down the perpetrator
A         E
Loaded up my toolkit with every hateful instrument
E  B             C#m
Now here we are thirty years later

Chorus:
          E   B  Asus2 G#m F#m
I'm getting into knives
Esus        E   B  Asus2 G#m
I'm getting into knives
F#m    Esus      C#m   B
I've been up and down the buffet
A          E
Several different times
            B         C#m
I'm adjusting my focus, I'm getting into knives

Verse 2:
E     B        C#m
I sought wisdom from the sages
E  B           C#m  C#m B A
Consulted with master tacticians
A                  E
Met up with some guys who wouldn't tell me their last names
           B         C#m
They specialized in non-conventional munitions

E        B      C#m
Stayed on the scent like a bloodhound
E        B       C#m  C#m B A
Followed the clues where they led
A              E
Taste of hot ashes on my tongue all day
   B           C#m
I took my rifle with me to bed

Chorus:
             E   B  Asus2 G#m F#m
But I'm getting into knives
  Esus       E   B  Asus2 G#m F#m
I'm getting into knives
Esus  C#m     B       A     E
It's a gift to be simple, it's a gift to be free
            B         C#m
I'm adjusting my focus, I'm getting into knives

Bridge:
D              C#m
Held to my vision all these days
G#                  C#m     C#m B A
While stray signals kept flooding the switchboard
A           E
Came all this way for hunger
            B
May I be worthy of my reward

E        B       C#m
I stood at the door, and I listened
E          B     C#m       C#m B A
Rustled through my rucksack as quiet as I could
A                  E
You can't give me back what you've taken
           B             C#m
But you can give me something that's almost as good

Chorus:
          E   B  Asus2 G#m F#m
I'm getting into knives
Esus         E   B  Asus2 G#m
I am getting into knives
F#m    Esus     C#m     B   A         E
Behold, I stand at the door, and I knock, and then I knock twice
            B         E
I've adjusted my focus, I'm getting into knives
