Intro: G G/F# Em Em/F# (x2) 
 
G      G/F#             Em 
  So sharp these little knives, 
         Em/F#           G 
How sweet that sounds of yore. 
     G/F#          Em 
They cut me out of life, 
  Em/F#          G      
built this Trojan horse. 
   G/F#              Em 
That shit don't even hurt, 
G/F#           G 
tickles like a feather. 
 
      G/F#              Em 
I'm a space between the lines, 
C/D                 C                   
and even this shall pass. 
C/B              G                 G/F# 
Fading Gloomy June. 
Em G/F# G G/F# Em Em/F# G 
 
         G/F#            Em 
And I break against your walls, 
        Em/F#            G 
there's nothing there to grapple. 
     G/F#         Em 
Come rattle in my heart, 
        Em/F#     G 
and shoot away my apple. 
       G/F#         Em 
My head didn't ever move, 
     Em/F#      G 
tired I stayed open. 
 
      G/F#              Em 
I'm a space between the lines, 
C/D                 C                   
and even this shall pass. 
C/B              G   G/F# 
Fading Gloomy June. 
Em G/F# G G/F# Em Em/F# G 
 
G/F#               Em 
I set fire to your trees, 
     Em/F#       G 
looking for some action. 
  G/F#       Em 
No dice, no jamboree. 
Em/F#                G 
Ain't got no Bristol fashion. 
    G/F#             Em    
Well, that shit don't even hurt, 
Em/F#           G 
tickles like a feather. 
 
I'm a space between the lines, 
C/D                 C                   
and even this shall pass. 
C/B              G                 G/F# 
Fading Gloomy June. 
Em G/F# G G/F# Em Em/F# G 
 
      G/F#             Em 
  So sharp these little knives, 
         Em/F#           G 
How sweet that sounds of yore. 
      G/F#              Em 
I'm a space between the lines, 
C/D                 C                   
and even this shall pass.
