MY LIFE IN THE KNIFE TRADE by BOYSETSFIRE

Tabbed by Girless (www.myspace.com/girlessrock - girless[at]libero.it)

This is the tab and the chords of the amazing song by Boysetsfire. It�s pretty
easy (it�s probably easier than the record version) but I�m pretty sure about the
chords and the bridge. I think the intro is not so accurate.
Enjoy!

repeat 4 times (pause)


How many times have I noticed that our eyes hardly ever meet?
From your judgment seat I can feel the anger for my very being.
Fill me in on when you became such a big part of my life.
That I should bother with all your lies designed to bring me down.
Wrong again don't depend on any reaction again!


Verse:

Em G C
I remember the icy walls that shot up from nowhere,
Em G C
and I can see every lie you've ever told yourself.
Em G C
You bleed me dry and I don't ask why but I'm left with the dust.
Em G C
Judas kiss I dismiss thank you all for this I am untouched (I am)

Chorus:

G C Em C
Wait again I'm not through with the screaming!
G C Em C
I contend that you've got nothing better to do.
Em D C G
I'd trade my life for a barrel of gold,
Em D C G
find someone else before I get too old,
Em D C G
if I live my life for aesthetic gain
Em D C G
will you repay me with all your shame?

Verse 2:
I can see every light inside your brain go on every time that I walk by for nods and whispers.
Your comfort in my suffering is no longer disturbing,
I'm lost beyond your petty stopwatch in life's real time (lifes real).

Chorus 2:
Wait again I'm not through with the screaming!
I contend that you've got nothing better to do.
I'd trade my life for a barrel of gold,
find someone else before I get too old,
if I live my life for aesthetic gain will you repay me with all your shame?

Don't get up I was only leaving the room.
When the door of your judgment swings back around again,
maybe I'll stop to watch your act and I'll go on my way!

G

D Em C
I've seen quite enough of too many childish games.
G D Em C
I'm ashamed of every moment and that I ever gave them the time of day.
G D Em C G
All the worst enemies are somehow always friends that used to be...
