Chords with lyrics
DmDm
I learned long ago 'bout a better way of killing birds
FF
And what it means when they die in my hands
DmDm
Like a strangled heart, it never made much sense to me
FF
Why I'd need to know the best way to do that
GbGb
But you have to love the murderer I've become
G minorGm
As I'm standing here in front of you
G minorGm
Standing right in front of you
G minorGm
Standing here in front of you
G+G
Killing birds
DmDm
I've spent my youth breaking down the walls my father built
FF
Just like he did to his father before him
DmDm
But then I had no home, so I tried to make a better one
FF
It looked just like his, so I burned it down again
GbGb
No there ain't a long parade of idiots
G minorGm
As I'm standing here in front of you
G minorGm
Standing right in front of you
G minorGm
Standing here in front of you
G minorGm
Killing birds
GbGb
You don't have to love the murderer I've become
DmDm
If I could spin a web, I would sit and wait for you
FF
I wouldn't need a stone, I'd just poison you and tie you up
DmDm
And you would be a bird, a beautiful crescent one
FF
And your eyes would beg, but I'm just doing my job
G minorGm
Standing here in front of you
G minorGm
Standing here in front of you
G minorGm
Standing here in front of you
G minorGm
Standing here in front of you
G minorGm
Standing here in front of you
G minorGm
Standing here in front of you
G minorGm
Standing here in front of you
G+G
Killing birds
