Standard (EADGBE)

 I wouldn't kill to win a war

 I don't get what they do it for

 It's all so terribly vague

 I see the pictures from a thousand years of battle

 And I think it's such a bore

 I walk New Orleans with a knife

 Like Mackie hidden out of sight

 But I'd be useless if they jumped

 I'm really not the killing type

I'm not the killing type

I'm not the killing type

I'm not, I'm not

I'm not the killing type, I'm not

 I've got a picture of your mum

 Before the war when she was young

 She's got an etching to her right

 I think it's funny that she's looking to the left and it's her son

 I wouldn't kill to get you back

 And I've officially been asked

 I couldn't kill to save a life

 I'd rather die a peaceful piece of shit-bait, shame-filled coward, thanks

I'm not the killing type

I'm not the killing type

I'm not, I'm not

I'm not the killing type, I'm not

 But I would kill to make you feel

 I don't mean kill someone for real

 I couldn't do that, it is wrong

 But I can say it in a song, a song, a song

 And I'm saying it NOW

 I'm saying it SO

 Even if you never hear this song, somebody else would know

 I'm saying it NOW

 I'm saying it SO

 Even if you never hear this song, somebody else will know, know, know, know

I just can't explain how good it feels

I just can't explain how good it feels

I just can't explain how good it feels

I just can't describe

 I once stepped on a dying bird

 It was a mercy killing, I couldn't sleep for a week

I kept feeling its breaking bones

 I heard

That if you see a star at night

And the conditions are just right

And you are standing on a cliff

Then you can close your eyes and make a wish, and take a step, and change somebody's life

I'm not the killing type

I'm not the killing type

I'm not, I'm not

I'm not the killing type, I'm not

 But I would kill to make you feel

 I'd kill to move your face an inch

 I see you staring into space

 I wanna stick my fist into your mouth and twist your arctic heart

 Yes, I would kill to make you feel

 I don't mean kill someone for real

 I couldn't do that, it is wrong

 But I can say it in a song, a song, a song

 And I'm saying it NOW

 I'm saying it SO

 Even if you never hear this song, somebody else would know

 I'm saying it NOW

 I'm saying it SO

 Even if you never hear this song, somebody else would know, know, know, know

I just can't explain how good it feels

I just can't explain how good it feels

I just can't explain how good it feels

I just can't describe, -ibe, -ibe

DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE

I'm not the killing type

*Note: For this song, many of the chords aren't full chords, just power chords,

but it's easy to figure out when they are and when they aren't.
