Sympathy is a knife featuring ariana grande Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I- i- i- i- it's a knife when you know they're
waitin' for you to choke
It's a knife when a journalist
does a misquote
It's a knife when a friend is suddenly
steppin' on your [F#m]throat
[D]It's a kn— when they say that you've been
doing things you don't- don't
It's a knife when your old friends
hate your [F#m]new friends
When some[D]body says,
"Charli, I think you've totally changed"
[F#m]It's a k[D]nife when somebody says
They like the old [F#m]me and not the new [D]me
And I'm like,

[Verse 2]
"Who the fuck is she?"
[F#m]'Cause it's a knife [Bm]when you're
finally on [G]top
'Cause logic[D]ally the next step is they
Wanna see you [F#m]fall to the bottom
[D]It's a knife [Bm]when you're finally
on top (On top)
[G]'Cause logically [D]the [G]next step
[D]is they wanna see you fall- [F#m]fall- fall
I- i- i- i- it's a knife [Bm]when

[Verse 3]
It's a [G]knife when,
it's a [D]knife when (When, when)
[F#m]All this sympathy is ju[D]st a[F#m]

It's a [G]knife when,
[D]it's a knife when (When, when)
[F#m]All this sy[D]mpathy is just a- -

[Verse 4]
It's a knife when you know they're
counting on your mistakes
It's a knife when you're so pretty,
they think you must be fake (Mm)
It's a knife when they dissect your body
on the front [F#m]page (Mm, ooh)
It's a [D]knife when they
won't believe you
Why should you explain? (Yeah)
It's a knife when the mean fans
hate the nice [F#m]fans
When some[D]body says, "Ari,
I think you've totally changed" (No shit)
(It's a knife) When
somebody says they
Like the old [F#m]me and not the
[D]new me
And I'm like,
"Who the fuck is she?"
[F#m]'Cause it's a [Bm]knife when you're

[Verse 5]
finally on [D]top (On top)
[G]'Cause [D]logically the next step is they
Wanna see you [F#m]fall to the bottom
[Bm]It's a knife when you're finally on
[G]top (On top, ooh)
'Cause logic[D]ally the next step is they
wanna see you [F#m]fall- fall- fall
