[Bb]I l[Dm]ear[Gm]ned[Dm] long ago 'bout a better way of killing birds
[Bb]And[Dm] wh[Gm]at [F]it means when they die in my hands
[Bb]Lik[Dm]e a[Gm] st[Dm]rangled heart, it never made much sense to me
[Bb]Why[Dm] I'[Gm]d n[F]eed to know the best way to do that
[Abm]But [Eb]you[Ebm] hav[Gb]e to love the murderer I've become
[Bb]As [Gm]I'm standing here in front of you
[Bb]Sta[Gm]nding right in front of you
[Bb]Sta[Gm]nding here in front of you
[G]Killing birds
[Bb]I'v[Dm]e s[Gm]pen[Dm]t my youth breaking down the walls my father built
[Bb]Jus[Dm]t l[Gm]ike[F] he did to his father before him
[Bb]But[Dm] th[Gm]en [Dm]I had no home, so I tried to make a better one
[Bb]It [Dm]loo[Gm]ked[F] just like his, so I burned it down again
[Abm]No t[Eb]her[Ebm]e ai[Gb]n't a long parade of idiots
[Bb]As [Gm]I'm standing here in front of you
[Bb]Sta[Gm]nding right in front of you
[Bb]Sta[Gm]nding here in front of you
[Bb]Kil[Gm]ling birds
[Abm]You [Eb]don[Ebm]'t h[Gb]ave to love the murderer I've become
[Bb]If [Dm]I c[Gm]oul[Dm]d spin a web, I would sit and wait for you
[Bb]I w[Dm]oul[Gm]dn'[F]t need a stone, I'd just poison you and tie you up
[Bb]And[Dm] yo[Gm]u w[Dm]ould be a bird, a beautiful crescent one
[Bb]And[Dm] yo[Gm]ur [F]eyes would beg, but I'm just doing my job
[Bb]Sta[Gm]nding here in front of you
[Bb]Sta[Gm]nding here in front of you
[Bb]Sta[Gm]nding here in front of you
[Bb]Sta[Gm]nding here in front of you
[Bb]Sta[Gm]nding here in front of you
[Bb]Sta[Gm]nding here in front of you
[Bb]Sta[Gm]nding here in front of you
[G]Killing birds
