difficulty
very easy |||||
 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 
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 
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 
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 
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
