Capo on 5th fret
Intro: F G E F (2x)
F G
They've been circling, they've been circling
E F
Since the day they were born
F G
It's disturbing how they're circling
E F
Fifty feet from the pond
F G
Pretty often, pretty often
E F
I don't want to be told
F G
It's a problem, it's a problem
E F
It's a problem, I know
F G
I won't keep what I can't catch
Em F
In my bare hands without a net
F G
It's hard enough to walk on grass
Em F
So conscious of the consequences
F G E F (2x)
F G
They've been jerking, they've been jerking
E F
In a pail by the dock
F G E
I know that oxygen might make them blossom and die
F
But I'm not gonna talk
F G
Feed them details, feed them e-mails
E F
They'll eventually grow
F G
But it's not working, it's not working
E F
Not as far as I know
F G
And killing things is not so hard
Em F
It's hurting that's the hardest part
F G
And when the wizard gets to me
Em F
I'm asking for a smaller heart
F G E F (4x)
F G
When I got you, I thought that I got you
E F
Now I'll ruin it all
F G
Feeling helpless, acting selfish
E F
Being human and all
F G
And they're jumping, and they're jumping
E F
But they'll never get out
F G
Just keep touring, keep on ignoring
E F
Be a good little trout
F G
The butcher stops and winds his watch
Em F
And lays their lives down on the block
F G
He raises up his hatchet and the
Em F
Big hand strikes a compromise
F G D
Wait, we'll trade you, wait
F G D
Please, just one more day
F G D
Then we'll go with no complaining
F D
No complaining, no complaining
F G E F
Stop killing
F G E F
F G
Killing things is not so hard
Em F
It's hurting that's the hardest part
F G
When the wizard gets to me
Em F
I'm asking for a smaller heart
F G
And if he tells me no
Em F
I'll hold my breath until I hit the floor
F G
Eventually I know I'm doomed
Em F
To get what I am asking for
F G C G F (2x)
F G
Now my heart is exactly the size
C G F
Of a six sided die cut in half
C G F
Made of ruby red stained glass
F G
Can I knock you unconscious as long as I promise
C G F
I'll love you and I'll make you laugh
F G
And my heart is exactly the size
C G F
Of a six sided die cut in half
C G F
Made of ruby red stained glass
F G
Can I knock you unconscious as long as I promise
C G F
I'll love you and I'll make you laugh
