The Killing Type Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I [Em]wouldn't kill to win [C]a war
[Em]I don't get what they do it for[C]
[Em]It's all so terribly vague[C]
[Em]I see the pictures from a thou
[D]sand years of battle
And I think it's [Em]such a [C]bore

[Verse 2]
[Em]I walk New Orleans with a kn[C]ife
[Em]Like Mackie hidden out of si[C]ght
[Em]But I'd be useless if they jumpe[C]d
[Em]I'm really not the killing type[D]
Oh, oh, oh, [A]oh, oh

[Verse 3]
I'm not the killing type [A]I'm
not the killing type
[Em]I'm not, I'm not
[A]I'm not the killing type, I'm not
I've [D]got a pic[Em]ture [C]of your mum

[Verse 4]
[Em]Before the war when she was youn[C]g
[Em]She's got an etching to her righ[C]t
[Em]I think it's funny that
she's [D]looking to the left
And it's her son

[Verse 5]
I wouldn't kill to get [C]you back
[Em]And I've officially been[C] asked
[Em]I couldn't kill to save a li[C]fe
[Em]I'd rather a die a peaceful
[D]piece of shit-bait
Shame-filled coward
coward
coward
Thank[A]s

[Verse 6]
I'm not the killing type [A]I'm not
the killing type
I'm not, I'm not
I'm not the killing type, I'm not
But I would [D]kill to make you

[Verse 7]
[C]feel
[Em]I don't mean kill someone for real[C]
[Em]I couldn't do that, it is wr[C]ong
[Em]But I can say it in a so[A]ng, a song, a song
And [Em]I'm saying it

[Verse 8]
[C]now
I'm saying it [Em]so
Even if you never [D]hear this song
Somebody [Em]else would [A]know
I'm saying it [C]now
I'm saying it [Em]so
Even if you never [D]hear this song
Somebody else will [A]know,

[Verse 9]
know, know, know
[C]I just can't explain how good it feels
[D]I just can't explain how good it feels
[C]I just can't explain how good it feels
[D]I just can't describe
I once stepped [Em]on a dying

[Verse 10]
[C]bird
[Em]It was a mercy killing
[C]I couldn't sleep for a week
I kep[Em]t feeling its breaking bones

[Verse 11]
[C]I heard t[Em]hat if you see a star a[C]t night
[Em]And the conditions are just [C]right
[Em]And you are standing on a cl[C]iff
[Em]Then you can close your eyes
[D]And make a wish and take a step
And change somebody's [A]life

[Verse 12]
I'm not the killing type [A]I'm
not the killing type
I'm not, I'm not
I'm not the killing type, I'm not
But [Em]I would kill to make you

[Verse 13]
[C]feel
[Em]I'd kill to move your face an inch[C]
[Em]I see you staring into spa[C]ce
[Em]I wanna stick my fist into y[D]our mouth
And twist your Arctic heart
Yes, [Em]I would kill to make you

[Verse 14]
[C]feel
[Em]I don't mean kill someone for re[C]al
[Em]I couldn't do that, it is wron[C]g
[Em]But I can say it in a so[A]ng, a song, a song
And I'm [Em]say ing it

[Verse 15]
[C]now
I'm saying it [Em]so
Even if you never [D]hear this song
Somebody else would [A]know
I'm saying it [C]now
I'm saying it [Em]so
Even if you never [D]hear this song
Somebody [Em]else will [A]know,

[Verse 16]
know, know, know
[C]I just can't explain how good it feels
[D]I just can't explain how good it feels
[C]I just can't explain how good it feels
[D]I just can't describe-ibe-ibe-ibe
Die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die
I'm [A]not the killing type
