C majorC
I’m sorry that I’m late
C majorC
I went blind
   em
I got confetti in my eyes
   FF
I was held up at yesterday’s parties
    C majorC
I was needed on the congo line

C majorC
But my dear, oh my dear
       em
I’d like to fight the good fight for another couple of years
      C majorC
‘cause to say the war is over is to say you are a widow

           C majorC
You’re not a widow yet!
           C majorC
You’re not a widow yet!
           dm
You’re not a widow yet!
           C majorC
You’re not a widow yet!

C majorC
So this one’s for the critics and their disappointed mothers
     FF
For the cupid and the hunter shooting arrows at each other
        G+G
Ain’t no such thing as a saint,
                  am
Ain’t no such thing as a sinner, oh

am
There’s a swan among the pigeons of Barcelona’s floor
      G+G
There’s a Samson with Delilahs lining up outside the door
      dm
If you are sharpening your scissors
dm
I am sharpening my scissors,
am
And I am sharpening my sword
      FF
So you can take me to the dragon’s lair
      am
Or you can take me to Rapunzel’s windowsill
    G+G
Either way it is time for a bigger kind of kill…
         FF
A augmentedA bigger kind of kill.

C majorC
Oh I see your face when I close my eyes
       em
Oh I see the muscles in your legs from the way you always rise
    FF
To the occasion of catching things that fall
     C majorC
Like the statuettes on pedestals I tend to build too tall.
      am
But I have navigated Iceland
      G+G
I’ve laid my claim on Portugal
    dm
I have seen into the wasteland
    FF
Oh the future
    am
Oh the future of us all.

(bridge, i think it's am, learn the guitar solo instead though, it's way cooler)

 FF
I kicked at a whole country
 C majorC
Of dead, dead leaves last fall
 FF
I kicked at a whole country
 C majorC
Of dead, dead leaves last fall
 C majorC
Dead leaves
 C majorC
Dead leaves
 C majorC
Dead leaves
 C majorC
Dead leaves
 C majorC
Seen from the back of a train
 C majorC
Seen from the back of a train
 C majorC
I rode away from your station
 C majorC
I rode away from your station
 C majorC
They drifted in the air
 C majorC
They drifted in the air
 C majorC
Like memoirs of old conversations
 C majorC
Like memoirs of old conversations
 C majorC
Sprung from a leather case
 C majorC
Sprung from a leather case
 C majorC
You opened in the wind
 C majorC
You opened in the wind
 C majorC
To watch the papers chase each other
 C majorC
To watch the papers chase each other
 C majorC
Into oblivion

 C majorC
(You’re such a champion
 C majorC
You’re such a champion
 C majorC
I hide behind your sun
 C majorC
You are the champion) x3

 C majorC
So you can take me to the dragon’s lair
 C majorC
You can take me to Rapunzel’s windowsill
 G+G
Either way it is time, oh it is time
           FF
For a bigger kind of kill…
          C majorC
A augmentedA bigger kind of kill

          FF
A augmentedA bigger kind of kill
          C majorC
A augmentedA bigger kind of kill
