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)

  F
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
  F          C
Dead leaves
  F          C
Dead leaves
  F          C
Dead leaves
  F          C
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
  Dm                                Am      F       C
You can take me to Rapunzel?s windowsill
  Dm               Am             G
Either way it is time, oh it is time
                      F
For a bigger kind of kill?
                    C
A bigger kind of kill

A bigger kind of kill
