Chords

[Verse 1]
A5
Listen to me, Lizzie, it's bad

      G5                A5
And I don't know how to say this

         A5
But your father saw you in the barn

           G5               A5
He saw you go up there with Alice

            A5
He said, "I told her to leave those birds alone

        G5                A5
They're sick and dark and filthy"

        A5
Then he took an axe and chopped their heads off

G5            A5
One by one he killed them
[Verse 2]
A5
The sound of beating pigeon wings

   G5            A5
Is ringing in my ears

        A5
And the taste of blood is on my tongue

              G5            A5
And it's been rising up for years

   A5
My world is growing darker

      G5               A5
He is shutting out the light

        A5
There's no way out of this pressure cooker

G5         A5
No way out alive
[Chorus]
                  Asus2
Why are all these heads off?

                  Asus2/G
Why are all these heads off?

                  Asus2/F
Why are all these heads off?

                   Esus4
Why are all these- Why? Why? Why?

                  Asus2
Why are all these heads off?

                  Asus2/G
Why are all these heads off?

                  Asus2/F
Why are all these heads off?

                  Esus4 N.C.
Why are all these- Wait, wait, wait!
[Bridge]
              F           G
Everything is fine, Lizzie

               C         C/B Am
We will find a better way

                 F         G
If you stay with me, Lizzie

          C
I will protect you

              F            G
There are two sides, Lizzie

                       C             Am
You didn't choose what side you're on

             F
But there is right!

             G
And there is wrong!

                    Asus2
And I will choose my weapon!
[Chorus]
                  Asus2
Why are all these heads off?

                  Asus2/G
Why are all these heads off?

                  Asus2/F
Why are all these heads off?

                   Esus4         E
Why are all these- Why? Why? Why?
[Outro]
    Am                      Am/G    F
I'm standing looking forward in the dark

                  G
A feeling brushes past me

                        A5
And I know the wind has changed
