D
Drivin' home this evening
   G               C                 D G C
I coulda sworn we had it all worked out
     D
You had this boy believin'
 G               C          D   G C
Way beyond the shadow of a doubt

Well, I heard it on the street
I heard you might've found somebody new, yeah
Well, who is he, baby, who is he?
And tell me what he means to you, oh yeah

   A
I took it all for granted
    Bm
But how was I to know
      C                 G
That you'd be letting go

Chorus:
                     D  GC
Now it cuts like a knife
                 D   G
But it feels so right

Yeah, it cuts like a knife
C                    D   G C
Oh, but it feels so right

There's times I've been mistaken
There's times I thought
I'd been misunderstood - ooh yeah
So wait a minute darlin'
Can't you see we did the best we could,
ooh, we could

This wouldn't be the first time
Things have gone astray
Now you've thrown it all away

Chorus:
Now it cuts like a knife yeah
But It feels so right
Oh! It cuts like a knife
Yeah! But it feels so right
Oh! It cuts like a knife!
But if feels so right baby!
Oh! It cuts like a knife!
Yeeah! Hey!

I took it all for granted
But how was I to know
That you'd be letting go

Chorus:
Now it cuts like a knife yeah
But It feels so right
Oh. Now it cuts like a knife
Yeah, but it feels so right! Yeeah!

Oh, it cuts like a knife
Ooh yeah yeah
But it feels so right baby
Ooh yeah
It cuts like a knife
Now give it to me now
Yeah yeah, come on boys, ow
Feels so right, yeah yeah yeah
Nananananana hey!
Now it cuts like knife now

But it feels so right, yeah yeah
Feels so right baby
Na na yeah, it feels so right
And it cuts like a knife
Yeah yeah
Feels so right baby
