Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
main riff throughout)
Im sorry that Im late
I went blind
I got confetti in my eyes
I was held up at yesterdays parties
I was needed on the congo line
But my dear, oh my dear
Id like to fight the good fight for another couple of years
cause to say the war is over is to say you are a widow
Youre not a widow yet!
Youre not a widow yet!
Youre not a widow yet!
Youre not a widow yet!
So this ones for the critics and their disappointed mothers
For the cupid and the hunter shooting arrows at each other
Aint no such thing as a saint,
Aint no such thing as a sinner, oh
Theres a swan among the pigeons of Barcelonas floor
Theres a Samson with Delilahs lining up outside the door
If you are sharpening your scissors
I am sharpening my scissors,
And I am sharpening my sword
So you can take me to the dragons lair
Or you can take me to Rapunzels windowsill
Either way it is time for a bigger kind of kill
A bigger kind of kill.
Oh I see your face when I close my eyes
Oh I see the muscles in your legs from the way you always rise
To the occasion of catching things that fall
Like the statuettes on pedestals I tend to build too tall.
But I have navigated Iceland
Ive laid my claim on Portugal
I have seen into the wasteland
Oh the future
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
Of dead, dead leaves last fall
I kicked at a whole country
Of dead, dead leaves last fall
Dead leaves
Dead leaves
Dead leaves
Dead leaves
Seen from the back of a train
Seen from the back of a train
I rode away from your station
I rode away from your station
They drifted in the air
They drifted in the air
Like memoirs of old conversations
Like memoirs of old conversations
Sprung from a leather case
Sprung from a leather case
You opened in the wind
You opened in the wind
To watch the papers chase each other
To watch the papers chase each other
Into oblivion
(Youre such a champion
Youre such a champion
I hide behind your sun
You are the champion) x3
So you can take me to the dragons lair
You can take me to Rapunzels windowsill
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
A bigger kind of kill (repeat between C and F till ending)
