[Chorus]
B             G#m                    E              C#m
  You've been shaking hands with the wrong end of a knife
B             G#m                    E              C#m
  You've been shaking hands with the wrong end of a knife


[Verse 1]
B                G#m         E              C#
Ohhh well you're holding on, holding on too long
B              G#m             E           D#7
Ohhh well your arms were open, terrorized, terrorized
B             G#m         E              C#
Ohhh you'd be holding on, holding on too long
B              G#m                 E            D#7
Ohhh well your heart's still open, close it up, close it up


[Chorus]
B             G#m                    E              C#m

B             G#m                    E              C#m
  You've been shaking hands with the wrong end of a knife
B               G#m                        E          C#m
  Don't hold it tight, it's alright, it'll cut you in time
B             G#m                    E              C#m
  You've been shaking hands with the wrong end of a knife


[Verse 2]
B     G#m        E          D#7
Ohhh, walk away, walk away, walk away
B     G#m        E          D#7
Ohhh, walk away, walk away, walk away


[Bridge]
B               E
  I'm still not waiting, missing

Call you back to where you've ought to be

  Don't be making plans that'll bury you in time
B     G#m        E          D#7
Ohhh, walk away, walk away, walk away
B          G#m                  E           C#m
  Don't be making plans that'll bury you in time
