[Verse 1]
G C DI have a fair love to whom I'm not true
C G DFor this, I've no reason that'd satisfy you
G C DI thought myself a gentleman and kind
C G DYet, to her good soul and beauty, I've willed myself blind
[Chorus]
G C DYou are my cutting knife
C DYou cut me through and through
G C DDarlin', you are my cutting knife
C DYour blade is sharp and true, dear
C DYour blade is sharp and true

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

[Verse 3]
GThe truth in your eyes washes over me
C G DAs I measure my cruelty to the finest degree
G C DI built a house for this love that tears us apart
C DThere I sup on your trust and I dine on your heart
[Chorus]
G C DYou are my cutting knife
C DYou cut me through and through
G C DDarlin', you are my cutting knife
C DYour blade is sharp and true, dear
C DYour blade is sharp and true
G C DYou are my cutting knife
C DYou cut me through and through
G C DDarlin', you are my cutting knife
C DYour blade is sharp and true
C DYour blade is sharp and true
