CEm
I wouldnʼt kill to win a war
CEm
I donʼt get what they do it for
CEm
Itʼs all so terribly vague
D
I see the pictures from a thousand years of battle
CEm
And I think itʼs such a bore
CEm
I walk New Orleans with a knife
CEm
Like Mackie hidden out of sight
CEm
But Iʼd be useless if they jumped
D
Iʼm really not the killing type
A
Iʼm not the killing type
Iʼm not the killing type
Iʼm not, Iʼm not
Iʼm not the killing type, Iʼm not
CEm
Iʼve got a picture of your mum
CEm
Before the war when she was young
CEm
Sheʼs got an etching to her right
D
I think itʼs funny that sheʼs looking
to the left and itʼs her son
CEm
I wouldnʼt kill to get you back
CEm
And Iʼve officially been asked
CEm
I couldnʼt kill to save a life
D
Iʼd rather die a peaceful piece of shit-bait,
shame-filled coward, thanks
A
Iʼm not the killing type
Iʼm not the killing type
Iʼm not, Iʼm not
Iʼm not the killing type, Iʼm not
CEm
But I would kill to make you feel
CEm
I donʼt mean kill someone for real
CEm
I couldnʼt do that, it is wrong
A
But I can say it in a song, a song, a song
C
And Iʼm saying it NOW
Em7
Iʼm saying it SO
DA
Even if you never hear this song, somebody else would know
C
Iʼm saying it NOW
Em7
Iʼm saying it SO
DA
Even if you never hear this song,
somebody else will know, know, know, know
C
I just canʼt explain how good it feels
D
I just canʼt explain how good it feels
C
I just canʼt explain how good it feels
D
I just canʼt describe
CEm
I once stepped on a dying bird
C
It was a mercy killing, I couldnʼt sleep for a week
Em
I kept feeling its breaking bones
C
I heard
EmC
That if you see a star at night
EmC
And the conditions are just right
EmC
And you are standing on a cliff
EmD
Then you can close your eyes and make a wish,
and take a step, and change somebodyʼs life
A
Iʼm not the killing type
Iʼm not the killing type
Iʼm not, Iʼm not
Iʼm not the killing type, Iʼm not
CEm
But I would kill to make you feel
CEm
Iʼd kill to move your face an inch
C
I see you staring into space
D
I wanna stick my fist into your mouth
and twist your arctic heart
CEm
Yes, I would kill to make you feel
CEm
I donʼt mean kill someone for real
CEm
I couldnʼt do that, it is wrong
A
But I can say it in a song, a song, a song
C
And Iʼm saying it NOW
Em7
Iʼm saying it SO
DA
Even if you never hear this song, somebody else would know
C
Iʼm saying it NOW
Em7
Iʼm saying it SO
DA
Even if you never hear this song, somebody else would know,
know, know, know
C
I just canʼt explain how good it feels
D
I just canʼt explain how good it feels
C
I just canʼt explain how good it feels
D
I just canʼt describe, -ibe, -ibe
