[Intro]

Em Bm A

[Verse 1]

Em Bm A

The knife of insight tore its way in me

Em Bm A

A brash collision without sympathy

And maybe when the sun goes down

I'll come 'round, I'll come out

Maybe we could take some time

Unwind, figure out

Em Bm A

When the knife of insight tore its way in me

[Chorus]

Oh, hit me up if you're feeling down

Give a little, oh we'll figure this out

Keep me up, keep my mind around

After dark, after light

Let it go if you want, get loud

Make a little fuss, oh it's all allowed

Beautiful how it all pours out

A Em

After dark, after light

G Bm A

After dark, after light

[Verse 2]

Em Bm A

Oh, the knife of insight brought me to my knees

Em Bm

Broke me down and taught me how to see

And I know, and I know, and I know that maybe we should

Take some time, get this out, make this right

Maybe when the sun goes down

I'll come 'round, tell you all about

Em Bm A

When the knife of insight brought me to my knees

[Chorus]

Oh, hit me up if you're feeling down

Give a little, oh we'll figure this out

Keep me up, keep my mind around

After dark, after light

Let it go if you want, get loud

Spark a little, oh it's all allowed

Beautiful how it all pours out

A Em

After dark, after light

G Bm

Whoa, after dark, after light

Oh, oh

[Bridge]

And maybe I'm crazy, maybe you know

Bm A

But I've got this feeling it's all 'bout to blow

Maybe I'm crazy, or maybe you know that

Bm A

I've got this feeling it's all about to blow

Em G Bm

When the knife, the knife, the knife

Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]

Oh, hit me up if you're feeling down

Give a little, oh we'll figure this out

Keep me up, keep my mind around

After dark, after light

Let it go if you want, get loud

Love a little, oh it's all allowed

Beautiful how it all pours out

A Em

After dark, after light

G Bm

Oh, after dark, after light

A Em

After dark, after light

Oh, oh

Beautiful, down low

A Em G

Oh it's all after dark

And the knife

Oh, the knife

A Em
