Standard tuning, capo 5


F5 G5 E5 F5 (x2)
       

F5                     G5
They've been circling, they've been circling
E5                      F5
Since the day they were born
F5               G5    
It's disturbing how they're circling
E5                   F5
Fifty feet from the pond
F5            G5
Pretty often, pretty often
E5                F5
I don't want to be told
F5              G5
It's a problem , it's a problem
E5              F5
It's a problem , I know


F5                 G5
I won't keep what I can't catch
   E5               F5
In my bare hands without a net
F5                   G5
It's hard enough to walk on grass
   E5               F5
So conscious of the consequences


F5 G5 E5 F5 (x2)


F5                    G5
They've been jerking, they've been jerking
E5                F5
In a pail by the dock
F5                        G5                     E5
I know that oxygen might make them blossom and die
                  F5
But I'm not gonna talk
F5                  G5
Feed them details, feed them e-mails
E5                  F5
They'll eventually grow
F5                     G5
But it's not working, it's not working
E5               F5
Not as far as I know


F5                  G5
And killing things is not so hard
     E5                 F5 
It's hurting that's the hardest part
    F5               G5
And when the wizard gets to me
    E5           F5
I'm asking for a smaller heart


F5 G5 E5 F5 (x4)


F5                 G5
When I got you, I thought that I got you
E5                F5
Now I'll ruin it all
F5                 G5
Feeling helpless, acting selfish
E5               F5
Being human and all
F5                    G5
And they're jumping, and they're jumping
E5                     F5
But they'll never get out
F5                  G5
Just keep touring, keep on ignoring
E5                F5
Be a good little trout


    F5                 G5
The butcher stops and winds his watch
    E5                    F5
And lays their lives down on the block
   F5             G5  
He raises up his hatchet and the
E5                 F5
Big hand strikes a compromise


F5           G5          D5
Wait, we'll trade you, wait
F5            G5        D5
Please, just one more day
F5          G5       D5 
Then we'll go with no complaining
F5               D5
No complaining, no complaining
F5              G5  E5 F5
Stop killing


F5 G5 E5 F5


F5                 G5
Killing things is not so hard
     E5                 F5 
It's hurting that's the hardest part
F5               G5
When the wizard gets to me
    E5           F5
I'm asking for a smaller heart
    F5              G5
And if he tells me no
             E5             F5
I'll hold my breath until I hit the floor
F5            G5
Eventually I know I'm doomed
   E5            F5
To get what I am asking for

(The rhythm is a bit weird in the end. Play F5 and G5 for a normal length measure, 
then the C5 G5 F5 sequence should be faster. Listen to the song and you'll be able to figure it out.)

F5 G5 C5 G5 F5 (x2)


F5               G5
Now my heart is exactly the size
     C5         G5          F5
Of a six sided die cut in half
        C5    G5           F5
Made of ruby red stained glass
      F5                        G5                          
Can I knock you unconscious as long as I promise
     C5            G5             F5
I'll love you and I'll make you laugh
       F5        G5 
And my heart is exactly the size
     C5         G5          F5
Of a six sided die cut in half
        C5    G5           F5
Made of ruby red stained glass
      F5                        G5
Can I knock you unconscious as long as I promise
     C5            G5             F5
I'll love you and I'll make you laugh
