C
I’m sorry that I’m late
C
I went blind
Em
I got confetti in my eyes
F
I was held up at yesterday’s parties
C
I was needed on the congo line
C
But my dear, oh my dear
Em
I’d like to fight the good fight for another couple of years
F C
‘cause to say the war is over is to say you are a widow
C
You’re not a widow yet!
C
You’re not a widow yet!
Dm
You’re not a widow yet!
C
You’re not a widow yet!
C
So this one’s for the critics and their disappointed mothers
F
For the cupid and the hunter shooting arrows at each other
G
Ain’t no such thing as a saint,
Am
Ain’t no such thing as a sinner, oh
Am
There’s a swan among the pigeons of Barcelona’s floor
G
There’s a Samson with Delilahs lining up outside the door
Dm
If you are sharpening your scissors
Dm
I am sharpening my scissors,
Am
And I am sharpening my sword
F
So you can take me to the dragon’s lair
Am
Or you can take me to Rapunzel’s windowsill
G
Either way it is time for a bigger kind of kill…
F
A bigger kind of kill.
C
Oh I see your face when I close my eyes
Em
Oh I see the muscles in your legs from the way you always rise
F
To the occasion of catching things that fall
C
Like the statuettes on pedestals I tend to build too tall.
Am
But I have navigated Iceland
G
I’ve laid my claim on Portugal
Dm
I have seen into the wasteland
F
Oh the future
G Am
Oh the future of us all.
(bridge, i think it's am, learn the guitar solo instead though, it's way cooler)

I kicked at a whole country
C
Of dead, dead leaves last fall
F
I kicked at a whole country
C
Of dead, dead leaves last fall

Dead leaves

Dead leaves

Dead leaves

Dead leaves
F C
Seen from the back of a train
F C
Seen from the back of a train
F C
I rode away from your station
F C
I rode away from your station
F C
They drifted in the air
F C
They drifted in the air
F C
Like memoirs of old conversations
F C
Like memoirs of old conversations
F C
Sprung from a leather case
F C
Sprung from a leather case
F C
You opened in the wind
F C
You opened in the wind
F C
To watch the papers chase each other
F C
To watch the papers chase each other
F C
Into oblivion
F C
(You’re such a champion
F C
You’re such a champion
F C
I hide behind your sun
F C
You are the champion) x3
Dm Am F C
So you can take me to the dragon’s lair

Either way it is time, oh it is time

For a bigger kind of kill…

A bigger kind of kill

A bigger kind of kill

A bigger kind of kill
F
A bigger kind of kill (repeat between C and F till ending)
