D Bm
Take this old pocket knife that I have been keeping
D Bm [N.C]
hold it under pillow while you are sleeping.
D
Then cut a window into
Bm
your oldest and darkest dream
D
and let it wash over you,
Bm
that life-like, love light beam.
[Chorus]
D
If trouble comes tonight
A
remember your pocket knife
Em
to cut into the dark
D
and let in a little light
A
with this ol’ pocket knife.
Em
If trouble comes tonight
D
remember your pocket knife
A
pocket knife.
[Verse 2]
D
Take your old weather worn boots
Bm
you were about to retire,
D Bm
lace them together up on a phone wire.
D
We’ll walk into everyone’s ears
Bm
and we’ll talk about this love,
D
the only thing around here
Bm
there is never enough of.
[Chorus]
D
If trouble comes tonight
A
remember your pocket knife
Em
to cut into the dark
D
and let in a little light
A
with this ol’ pocket knife.
Em
If trouble comes tonight
D
remember your pocket knife
A
pocket knife.
Em
to cut into the dark
D
and let in a little light
A
with this ol’ pocket knife.
[Bridge]
C G C Bm
Here we learn to shadow box
A
Here we learn to stay and fight
Em D
Here we know to pick old locks
A
Here we are bathed in light.
D Bm
Take this old pocket knife that I have been keeping
D Bm
hold it under pillow while you are sleeping.
