It C7cuts both ways, our love is like a knife
It Amcuts both ways, it’s drive deep into my Fmaj7heart each time
       Dm7/          G#  C7  
That I realize. How it cuts both ways.
Can’t be together, cannot Am7live apart
We’re heading straight into a Fmaj7broken heart. 
            Dm7/G#  
But I can’t stop.
Refr.
‘Cause I Fmaj7feel too much to let you go. 
I’m hurting you and it’s hard I know
To Em7stay and fight for Am7what we’ve got. 
Knowing it’ll never be good enough
‘Cause Fmaj7you and I are dangerous. We want too much and life ain’t that way
Don’t Em7ask for more, don’t Dm7be a fool. 
           Dm7/G#  
Haven’t we already broken every rule
It C7cuts both ways, we’re in to deep for sorry alibis
AmCan’t have regrets or even Fmaj7question why
   Dm7/                        G#  C7  
We can’t say goodbye. Because it cuts both ways. 
No more illusions of the Am7love we make
No sacrifice would ever Fmaj7be to great. 
       Dm7/G#  
If you would just stay.
Refr.
C7Cuts both ways, our love is like a knife that Am7cuts both ways
                                              Fmaj7  Dm7/G#  
It’s drivin’ deep into my heart each time I see we livin’ the lie
And it C7cuts both ways, It Am7cuts both ways, mmm
               Fmaj7  Dm7/    G#     C7      G  C7  
Cuts both ways.               Cuts both ways.
