The Knife - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

This was bonus track of their 2013 album 'Specter at the Feast' but apparently it was
written a few years ago (2008 or 2009..)
You can find the song on Youtube here

Listen to it and you will get the timing and throw in the occassional chord variation too.
I might have a few mistakes with the chords and the lyrics but I think it is pretty close.
They tend to change lyrics sometimes with live performances too and you can use an
Fmajor 7 if you think it sounds better than F.
Intro -
C C C C
Am Am F F
C C Em Em
Am Am F F
C G C C
CYou twist the knife
CAnd I'll take the bullet
AmYou start the fire
And the Fworld then turns for you
Isn't it Cright'
Isn't it a Emcrime'
Isn't it Amcruel to Cbe so Fkind'
But it's all an act of Glove and it leaves you Cblind
And I'm not here to Greason or Cdeny
I buried you in a Gpoverty of Ctime
SomeFtimes there's no Gother way
You Amsaid the things you need to Fsay
At the Cgreatest price
Over a Gmeaningless fight
Didn't it Amused to Cbe so Ffine'
CSometimes you need the Gdark to see the Clight
CYou roll the dice
CAnd I play the fool
AmYou turn the tide
But the Fstorm steps through your eyes
Isn't it Cright'
Or is it your Empride'
Isn't it crAmuel to Cbe so Fkind'
CBut some temptations Gpromise you paraCdise
And I'm not here to Glisten or conCfide
And I've paid my debt to a Gworld that bleeds you Cdry
FSometimes there's no Gother way
AmYou said the things you Fneed to say
CAt the greatest price
Over a mGeaningless fight
Didn't it uAmsed to Cfeel so Fright'
CSometimes you need the Gdark to see the Clight
