INTRO: NONE

CHORUS:
Em   D        C    Am
I have never liked the box of knives
   Em     D     C      Am
You said was a paradox because you're kind
   Em      D       C      Am
But withstood a trial till that robbed you, blind
  Em      D        C     Am
Of love that was safe and so you learned to fight

VERSE:
 Am    C       Em D
What do I do with the stuff
        Am    C      Em D
It seems like yesterday I called you up
     Bm    Em     C
I had a terrible case of the past
     D      G   C
I didn't know how to get it off
     Am     Bm   C
I didn't know how to get it off


PRE-CHORUS:
       G
And you took
     C
Your machete
     G                     C
And you sliced through the vines that wrapped around me
     G
And you said
  Em         D
I dont know what i'm doing
C       Bm   Am
So I'll just keep on cutting
    G                C
It's worth a little blood to get your arms free

What do I do with the stuff
        Am    C     Em D
It seems like yesterday I was in love
      Bm    Em       C
I kept on hardening the soft parts out
     D      G    C
I didn't know how to get them off
     Am     Bm    C
I didn't know how to get them off


PRE-CHORUS:
     G
And you took
     C
Your machete
     G                 C
And you hacked through the wood in the surrounding
     G
And you said
Em         D
I dont where I'm going
  C     Bm    Am
I just know that I'm heading
     G             C
From the dead things piled up behind me


PRE-CHORUS:
     G
And you took
    C
Your machete
     G            C
And you carved out a path to my chest
       G
And you said see
 Em       D
There's nothing not worth keeping
 C      Bm  Am
You felt so many beatings
   G              C
But nothings gonna work if you believe me
   G              C
But nothings gonna work if you believe me

   Em      D        C   Am
I'd take it to the ocean side the day you die
  Em       D       C     Am
I stood out on the dock no matter how hard I tried
  Em       D         C    Am
I couldn't drop it in a fight could last and die


VERSE:
 Am    C       Em D
What do I do with the stuff
        Am    C     Em D
It seems like yesterday you were alive
      Bm      Em   C
And it's as if you never really died
       D      G   C
And it's as if you never really died

Aour machete
     G               C
You said boo, guess who, but seriously beauty

You said see you got the drill now don't you
 C     Bm   Am
It's not a will or wont you
 G                C
Can't keep making symbols out of nothing


PRE-CHORUS:
   G
So I took
    C
Your machete
    G            C
And I sliced off your hand into after
