C Em
I wouldn't kill to win a war
C Em
I don't get what they do it for
C Em
It's all so terribly vague
D
I see the pictures from a thousand years of battle
C Em
And I think it's such a bore
C Em
I walk New Orleans with a knife
C Em
Like Mackie hidden out of sight
C Em
But I'd be useless if they jumped
D
I'm really not the killing type
A5
I'm not the killing type
I'm not the killing type
I'm not, I'm not
I'm not the killing type, I'm not
C Em
I've got a picture of your mum
C Em
Before the war when she was young
C Em
She's got an etching to her right
D
I think it's funny that she's looking to the left and it's her son
C Em
I wouldn't kill to get you back
C Em
And I've officially been asked
C Em
I couldn't kill to save a life
D
I'd rather die a peaceful piece of shit-bait, shame-filled coward, thanks
A5
I'm not the killing type
I'm not the killing type
I'm not, I'm not
I'm not the killing type, I'm not
C Em
But I would kill to make you feel
C Em
I don't mean kill someone for real
C Em
I couldn't do that, it is wrong
A5
But I can say it in a song, a song, a song
C
And I'm saying it NOW
Em7
I'm saying it SO
D A5
Even if you never hear this song, somebody else would know
C
I'm saying it NOW
Em7
I'm saying it SO
D A5
Even if you never hear this song, somebody else will know, know, know, know
C
I just can't explain how good it feels
D
I just can't explain how good it feels
C
I just can't explain how good it feels
D
I just can't describe
C Em
I once stepped on a dying bird
C
It was a mercy killing, I couldn't sleep for a week
Em
I kept feeling its breaking bones
C
I heard
Em C
That if you see a star at night
Em C
And the conditions are just right
Em C
And you are standing on a cliff
Em D
Then you can close your eyes and make a wish, and take a step, and change somebody's life
A5
I'm not the killing type
I'm not the killing type
I'm not, I'm not
I'm not the killing type, I'm not
C Em
But I would kill to make you feel
C Em
I'd 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
C Em
Yes, I would kill to make you feel
C Em
I don't mean kill someone for real
C Em
I couldn't do that, it is wrong
A5
But I can say it in a song, a song, a song
C
And I'm saying it NOW
Em7
I'm saying it SO
D A5
Even if you never hear this song, somebody else would know
C
I'm saying it NOW
Em7
I'm saying it SO
D A5
Even if you never hear this song, somebody else would know, know, know, know
C
I just can't explain how good it feels

I just can't explain how good it feels

I just can't describe, -ibe, -ibe
