[Bb] [Eb]

[Bb] [A] [G]
[Dm]
[Gm] [C]
[G] [Dm]
[Gm] [C]
[G] I learned a long [F] [Dm] ago
[Gm] about a better [D] way of killing [G] birds and what [Dm] it means when [Gm] they
die in my [C] [G]
hands.
Like a [Dm] strangled heart, [Gm] it never made [D] much sense to [G] me.
Why I'd need
to [Dm] know [Gm] the best way to do [C]
[Bb] that.
But you have to [Eb] love the [Ebm] [Gb] murderer.
And [Bb] I'm standing here
[F] in front of [Eb] you.
[Bb] Standing right [F] in front of [Eb] you.
[Bb] Standing here [F] in front of [Eb] you killing
[G]
birds.
[Gm] I spent [F] my youth [Bb] breaking down the walls [D] my father [Gm] built.
Just like he [Dm] did to
[Bb] his father before [C] [Gm] him.
But then I had [F] no home.
[Bb] So I tried to [Dm] make a better one.
[Gm] It looked
just like [F] him.
So [Bb] I'll find it found [C] again.
[Bb] Now there ain't [Eb] a long, [Ebm]
wait [Gb] on us.
[Bb] And I'm
standing here [Eb] in front of you.
[Bb] Standing right [Eb] in front of you.
[Bb] Standing here [Eb] in front of
[Cm] you killing [G] birds.
[Fm] [Bb]
[Gm]
[G] [F]
[Bb] [C] You
[Bb] don't have [Eb] to love [Ebm] the murderer.
[Gb]
[G] If I could spin [Dm] a web, [Gm] I would
sit and [C] wait for you.
[G] I [D] wouldn't need a [Dm] stone.
I'd [Gm] just pardon you and [C] tie you [Eb] [Gm] up.
You would
be [F] a bird.
[Bb] A beautiful, [D] crescent one.
[Gm] And your eyes would [F] say, but I'm [Bb] just doing [C] my
job.
[Bb] Standing [Eb] here in front of you.
[Bb] Standing [Eb] right in front of you.
[Bb] Standing
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb]
here [Eb] in front
[Bb]
Standing [Eb] here in front of you, killing [Gm] birds
