Bb Dm Gm Dm
I learned long ago 'bout a better way of killing birds

Bb Dm Gm F
And what it means when they die in my hands

Bb Dm Gm Dm
Like a strangled heart, it never made much sense to me

Bb Dm Gm F
Why I'd need to know the best way to do that

Abm Eb Ebm Gb
But you have to love the murderer I've become

Bb Gm
As I'm standing here in front of you

Bb Gm
Standing right in front of you

Bb Gm
Standing here in front of you

Bb Dm Gm Dm
I've spent my youth breaking down the walls my father built

Bb Dm Gm F
Just like he did to his father before him

Bb Dm Gm Dm
But then I had no home, so I tried to make a better one

Bb Dm Gm F
It looked just like his, so I burned it down again

Abm Eb Ebm Gb
No there ain't a long parade of idiots

Bb Gm
As I'm standing here in front of you

Bb Gm
Standing right in front of you

Bb Gm
Standing here in front of you

Killing birds

Abm Eb Ebm Gb
You don't have to love the murderer I've become

Bb Dm Gm Dm
If I could spin a web, I would sit and wait for you

Bb Dm Gm F
I wouldn't need a stone, I'd just poison you and tie you up

Bb Dm Gm Dm
And you would be a bird, a beautiful crested one

Bb Dm Gm F
And your eyes would beg, but I'm just doing my job

Bb Gm
Standing here in front of you

Standing here in front of you
