Under The Knife Chords

   
Dear Ultimate-Guitar: Here's a link to their website:

Intro (lots of downstrumming, only the first two strings or so): D/F# G (4x)

First verse (same style as intro): 

D/F#    G                    D/F#   G
I got a phone call from Lake Worth
D/F#     G                  D/F#   G
That you were coming back today
D/F#          G              D/F#       G
I spent three hours cleaning out your apartment
D/F#          G                 D/F#       G
In hopes that you would want to stay

A                              G
And maybe somewhere there's an anchor
A                              G
Rusting from all the desperate times we've sighed
A                                      G
I'll tattoo it on my arm I'll cut the sleeves off from my shirt
A                                G
The only cliché I'll ever try to hide

Second Verse: Much brighter, use them upper strings. 

D/F# G (3x) A 

D/F#    G                    D/F#   G
I got a phone call from Lake Worth
D/F#         G            D/F#   G
You just got on to ninety-five
D/F#          G              D/F#          G
I spent three hours learning how to make a quilt
D/F#                      G            D/F#         G
So we'd have something to do when you arrived

A                             G
And maybe somewhere there's a mattress
A                                         G
We can curl up on when we finish the last square
     A                          G
I'll prototype a groundbreaking romantic blanket fortress
     A                                 G
When we're inside we'll never just not care

Chorus: 
   D   G         D          G            
Oh I'm trying to be friends
    D                  G                   D               G   
I'm trying to find the place between where hatred ends and love begins
D      G                  D      G
I only think in black and white
D                G                D        G            A         
And X-Ray images of our hearts as they lie side by side
A                             D
Our love is under the knife

Instrumental bit (Chorus chords)

Third Verse: (Pluck bass string, strum chord once)

D       G                    D     G
I got a phone call from Lake Worth
D           G                   D      G
You turned around and went back home
D              G       D             G
I spent seven hours destroying your apartment
D                    G             D         G
And drinking all the Listerine you own

(One strum each now, forget the bass string)

A                           G
And maybe someday you'll be happy
A                                G
That might mean never seeing me again
     A                             G
And when I purge myself of all the mouthwash and self-pity
         A                              G
I'll let go and let our hearts begin to mend

Chorus (raucous strumming now):
   D   G         D          G            
Oh I'm trying to be friends
    D                  G                   D               G   
I'm trying to find the place between where hatred ends and love begins
D      G                  D      G
I only think in black and white
D                G                D        G            A         
And X-Ray images of our hearts as they lie side by side
A                             D
Our love is under the knife

Instrumental (Chorus chords)

A                    D (one)
Our love's under the knife
