Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Once that you've decided on a killing
First you make a stone of your heart
And if you find that your hands are still willing
Then you can turn a murder into art
There [Em]really isn't [Am]any need
for [B]bloodshed[Bb]
You just [Em]do it
with a [Am]little more fi[B]nesse[Bb]
If [Em]you can slip a [Am]tablet
[B]into someone's co[Bb]ffee
Then [F#]it avoids an aw[F]ful lot of m[B]ess

[Chorus 1]
Because [Em]it's murder by num[F#m]bers, [G]1, 2, [F#m]3
It's as [Em]easy to [F#m]learn as your [G]A B C[F#m]'s
It's [Em]murder by [F#m]numbers, [G]1, 2, [F#m]3
It's as [Em]easy to [F#m]learn as your [G]A B C[B]'s

[Verse 2]
Now [Em]if you have a ta[Am]ste
for this ex[B]perience[Bb]
If [Em]you're flushed
with your [Am]very first suc[B]cess[Bb]
Then [Em]you must try a [Am]twosome
or a [B]threesome[Bb]
You'll [F#]find your conscience
bothers [F]you much [B]less
Because [Em]murder is like [Am]anything
you take [B]to[Bb]
It's a [Em]habit-forming [Am]need
for more and [B]more[Bb]
You can [Em]bump off every [Am]member
of [B]your [Bb]family
And [F#]anybody [F]else you find [B]a bore

[Chorus 2]
Because it's [Em]murder by [F#m]numbers, [G]1, 2, [F#m]3
It's as [Em]easy to [F#m]learn as your [G]A B C[F#m]'s
It's [Em]murder by [F#m]numbers, [G]1, 2, [F#m]3
It's as [Em]easy to [F#m]learn as your [G]A B C[B]'s

[Verse 3]
[Em]Now you could join the ranks[Am]
of the [B]illu[Bb]strious
In [Em]history's [Am]great dark hall of [B]fame[Bb]
[Em]All our greatest k[Am]illers
were indus[B]trious[Bb]
At [F#]least the ones that we [F]all know by [B]name
[Em]But you can reach the top[Am]
of your profe[B]ssion[Bb]
If [Em]you become the [Am]leader
of the [B]land[Bb]
For [Em]murder is the [Am]sport
of the elec[B]ted[Bb]
And you don't [F#]need to lift a fin[F]ger
of [B]your hand

[Chorus 3]
Because it's [Em]murder by [F#m]numbers, [G]1, 2, [F#m]3
It's as [Em]easy to [F#m]learn as your [G]A B C[F#m]'s
[Em]Murder by [F#m]numbers, [G]1, 2, [F#m]3
It's as [Em]easy to [F#m]learn as your [G]A, B, [B]C, D, E
