[Verse 1]
G C D I have a fair love to whom I'm not true C G D For this, I've no reason that'd satisfy you G C D I thought myself a gentleman and kind C G D Yet, to her good soul and beauty, I've willed myself blind
[Chorus]
G C D You are my cutting knife C D You cut me through and through G C D Darlin', you are my cutting knife C D Your blade is sharp and true, dear C D Your blade is sharp and true
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
G C D She visits me nightly in the dreamy deep C D Where I walk from door to door with these secrets I keep G C D Her sweet arms around me, I toss and I turn C D Her reigns of mercy, holding me as I burn
[Chorus]
G C D You are my cutting knife C D You cut me through and through G C D You are my cutting knife C D Your blade is sharp and true, dear C D Your blade is sharp and true

[Verse 3]
G The truth in your eyes washes over me C G D As I measure my cruelty to the finest degree G C D I built a house for this love that tears us apart C D There I sup on your trust and I dine on your heart
[Chorus]
G C D You are my cutting knife C D You cut me through and through G C D Darlin', you are my cutting knife C D Your blade is sharp and true, dear C D Your blade is sharp and true G C D You are my cutting knife C D You cut me through and through G C D Darlin', you are my cutting knife C D Your blade is sharp and true C D Your blade is sharp and true
