This song is brand-new, and it's freaking catchy. 
Also, I love Amanda F-ing Palmer, so I figured I'd put up the chords for this song:

C (x32010@1)     EmI (022000@1)wouldn't kill to win a war
                            C (x32010@1)     EmI (022000@1)don't get what they do it for
                      C (x32010@1)     EmIt's (022000@1)all so terribly vague
                          DI (xx0232@1)see the pictures from a thousand years of battle
                        C (x32010@1)     EmAnd (022000@1)I think it's such a bore
                          C (x32010@1)     EmI (022000@1)walk New Orleans with a knife
                          C (x32010@1)     EmLike (022000@1)Mackie hidden out of sight
                          C (x32010@1)     EmBut (022000@1)I'd be useless if they jumped
                           DI'm (xx0232@1)really not the killing type

A5I'm (x022xx@1)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 (x32010@1)    EmI've (022000@1)got a picture of your mum
                            C (x32010@1)     EmBefore (022000@1)the war when she was young
                            C (x32010@1)     EmShe's (022000@1)got an etching to her right
                              DI (xx0232@1)think it's funny that she's looking to the left and it's her son
                           C (x32010@1)     EmI (022000@1)wouldn't kill to get you back
                         C (x32010@1)     EmAnd (022000@1)I've officially been asked
                          C (x32010@1)    EmI (022000@1)couldn't kill to save a life
                          DI'd (xx0232@1)rather die a peaceful piece of shit-bait, shame-filled coward, thanks

A5I'm (x022xx@1)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 (x32010@1)     EmBut (022000@1)I would kill to make you feel
                              C (x32010@1)     EmI (022000@1)don't mean kill someone for real
                          C (x32010@1)     EmI (022000@1)couldn't do that, it is wrong
                      A5But (x022xx@1)I can say it in a song, a song, a song
  
                  CAnd (x32010@1)I'm saying it NOW
              Em7
I'm saying it SO
                  D (xx0232@1)                                 A5Even (x022xx@1)if you never hear this song, somebody else would know

C (x32010@1)      EmI (022000@1)once stepped on a dying bird
                        CIt (x32010@1)was a mercy killing, I couldn't sleep for a week
EmI (022000@1)kept feeling its breaking bones
  CI (x32010@1)heard
Em (022000@1)                         C (x32010@1)  That if you see a star at night
Em (022000@1)                           C (x32010@1)  And the conditions are just right
Em (022000@1)                         C (x32010@1)  And you are standing on a cliff
Em (022000@1)                                D (xx0232@1)  Then you can close your eyes and make a wish, and take a step, and change somebody's life

*Note: For this song, many of the chords aren't full chords, just power chords, 
but it's easy to figure out when they are and when they aren't.

**Edit: Although I put the A5 as an Am originally, reviewing it, it sounds like an 
undefined chord. Hopefully that sounds closer. Thank you to ShiversTheNinja.
