• Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:
Gmaj7             Gmaj7
She was a bird, I was an arrow
D                        D
Both of us sure we were sword and a sparrow
Gmaj7                 Gmaj7          D      Dmaj7
Still when we flew, we never knew
Gmaj7              Gmaj7
There in the air I felt her feathers
D                  D
First all at once then all together
Gmaj7                 Gmaj7               D      Dmaj7
When I went through that's when I knew


Chorus:
      Gmaj7                      Gmaj7
I'm a killer and a killer is a bad, bad thing to be
        D                         D
She's a giver and a giver's even worse to folks like me
      Gmaj7                       Gmaj7
Cuz I never really wanna be the one to hurt somebody
       D                              D
But it just keeps happening, yeah it just keeps happening

Post-Chorus:
 Gmaj7    | Gmaj7    | D       | D       :


Verse 2:
Gmaj7           Gmaj7
I was a bird, he was an arrow
D                      D
I was allured by the straight and the narrow
Gmaj7              Gmaj7             D      Dmaj7
What could I do? His aim was true
 Gmaj7                  Gmaj7
Straight to the heart I let it happen
D                       D
I couldn't hardly have ever imagined that
Gmaj7                          Gmaj7
When he went through me he'd hate what he's doing
    D                        Dmaj7
And make me feel stupid for choosing him to


Chorus:
          Gmaj7                    Gmaj7
Cuz I'm a giver and a giver is a bad, bad thing to be
       D                          D
He's a killer and a killers even worse for folks like me
      Gmaj7                         Gmaj7
Cuz I never really wanna feel the hurt from anybody
       D                              D
But it just keeps happening, yeah it just keeps happening


Post-Chorus:
 Gmaj7    | Gmaj7    | D       | D       :
                     Yeah it just keeps happening
 Gmaj7    | Gmaj7    | D       | D       :


Bridge:
Emadd9
Falling, never to fly again
A
Darling, together when everything's
Dmaj7                                 G  (b5)   G
Fading the shade of the trees in the dark
Emadd9
I'm in love with the idea of
A
Dying with you in my arms but not
Dmaj7                                   G
Like this, we can't really help who we are


Outro:
                            Emadd9
We can't really help who we are
                            A
We can't really help who we are
                            Dmaj7
Damned to the end from the start
                            Gmaj7
We can't really help who we are
                            Emadd9
We can't really help who we are
                            A
We can't really help who we are
                            Dmaj7
Damned to the end from the start
                            Gmaj7
We can't really help who we are
                            Emadd9
We can't really help who we are
                            A
We can't really help who we are
                            Dmaj7
Damned to the end from the start
                            Gmaj7
We can't really help who we are
                            Gmaj7      Dmaj7
We can't really help who we are
