Mitski - Working For The Knife

[Intro]
G#m C# F# B A#

[Verse 1]
G#m C#
I cry at the start of every movie
F# B A#
I guess ’cause I wish I was making things too
Esus4 E Esus4 E
But I’m working for the knife

[Verse 2]
G#m C#
I used to think I would tell stories
F# B A#
But nobody cared for the stories I had about
Esus4 E
No good guys

[Verse 3]
A# B
I always knew the world moves on
A# B A#
I just didn’t know it would go without me
G#m E
I start the day high and it ends so low
A# B A#
‘Cause I’m working for the knife

[Instrumental]
G#m C# F# B E A

[Verse 4]
G#m C#
I used to think I’d be done by 20
F# B
Now at 29 the road ahead appears the same
A# B A#
Though maybe at 30 I’ll see a way to change
Esus4 E
That I’m living for the knife

[Verse 5]
A# B
I always thought the choice was mine
A# B A#
And I was right but I just chose wrong
G#m E
I start the day lying and end with the truth
F# B A#
That I’m dying for the knife

[Outro]
G#m E F# B
