Blade Away

Capo: 3rd fret

[Verse 1]
G
She carved a pear with a knife
                            Am
She didn't point the blade away
                A5
I didn't wanna patronize
D
She cut herself anyway
G
She sang "Amazing Grace"
                         Am
She didn't know all the words
               A5           A5/G
She said, "I hope you never die
   D/F#
So I don't have to learn that verse
Cm6            C/G
Ever the diplomat
Cm6                                     C/G   D/A
I said, "Let's hope it doesn't come to that, now"
 
 
[Chorus]
C/G                Cm6
Temporary as the night
             G/B      Em7         A7     Am7
And leaving like a slow kettle whine, I knew
           G       D/F#      Em
I can't count on much aright
       G        D/F#    C/G      G
Can I count, count on you?
 
 
[Verse 2]
Gsus
She put the news on TV
                            Am
But she turned the volume down
 
She said, "I think I ought to see
               D
But I can't stand the sound"
Cm6               C/G
Almost an afterthought
Cm6                C/G      D/A
I just held her as we watched
 
 
[Chorus]
C/G                Cm6
Temporary as the night
             G/B      Em7         A7     Am7
And leaving like a slow kettle whine, I knew
           G       D/F#      Em
I can't count on much aright
       G        D/F#    C/G      G
Can I count, count on you?
C/G                Cm6
Temporary as the night
             G/B      Em7         A7     Am7
And leaving like a slow kettle whine, I knew
           G       D/F#      Em
I can't count on much aright
       G        D/F#    C/G
Can I count, count on you?
