• Capo on 4th
• 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    :

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

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

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

We can't really help who we are
