Biography:
The Knife was an electronic duo from Gothenburg, Sweden formed in 1999. The band consisted of siblings Karin Dreijer (formerly of Honey is Cool, now Fever Ray) and Olof Dreijer (Oni Ayhun) - who also run their own record company, Rabid Records. Their lyrics were often political and left-leaning, involving strong critique of capitalism, colonialism and discrimination, and expressing support for causes including but not limited to queer rights, feminism and gender politics.

You can play this with D#, Cm and G#, but with a capo on first it makes it a lot easier
play. You can make this sound quite good acoustically or electric, with interesting
patterns or heavy effects. This is NOT meant to be like José González’s version. And,
to what I previously believed, The Knife (www.theknife.net) did the original and
is a cover.
[Verse 1]
D
One night to be confused
D
One night to speed up truth
Bm
We had a promise made
G
Four hands and then away
(same chords progression)
Both under influence
We had divine scent
To know what to say
Mind is a razor blade
[Chorus]
(chords are the same as above)
To call for/of hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn’t be good enough
For me, no
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
One night of magic rush
The start: a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then, relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
The colours red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love
[Bridge]
D Bm
And you, you knew the hand of a devil
D Bm
And you, kept us awake with wolves’ teeth
G
Sharing different heartbeats
D
In one night
[Chorus] (x2)
(chords are the same as above)
To call for/of hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn’t be good enough
For me, no
