Dm


[Verse]

Dm
You took off in the dead of night
      G                      Bb               C
But before you did, got your hair combed right, yeah
Dm
The neighborhood watch knows the score
            G                              Bb              C
And they're knockin' at your door, let 'em knock some more


[Pre Chorus]

        Dm                C         G
They're sayin' you need a little protection
    Dm                   C                        G
But followin' the leader gonna turn you off the religion


[Chorus]

G           Dm                C
It's comin' down, the hardest cut
G                  Dm   C
World wars in your mind
G             Dm                 C
Long day into night, the hardest cut
G            C
We live on a knife
C
Here it come now, here it come now
C                         Dm
Here it is, the hardest cut


[Verse 2]

Dm
I took off in the dead of night
       G                   Bb                    C
But before I did, got my affairs in order and my boots on
Dm
The hallelujah choir needs a score
            G                            Bb             C
And they're knockin' at my door, let 'em knock some more


[Pre Chorus 2]

        Dm                C         G
They're sayin' you need a little protection
    Dm                   C                        G
But followin' the leader gonna turn you off the religion


[Chorus 2]

G           Dm                C
It's comin' down, the hardest cut
G                  Dm   C
World wars in your mind
G             Dm                 C
Long day into night, the hardest cut
G            C
We live on a knife
C
Here it come now, here it come now
C                         Dm G Dm C
Here it is, the hardest cut


[Solo]

Dm G Bb C


[Chorus 3]

Dm   C      Bb                C
It's comin' down, the hardest cut
G                  Dm   C
World wars in your mind
G             Dm                 C
Long day into night, the hardest cut
G            C
Who's takin' the life?

C
Here it come now, here it come now
C                         Dm
Here it is, the hardest cut
