Verse 1
Bmaj7           Bmaj7
She was a bird, I was an arrow
F#                      F#
Both of us sure we were sword and a sparrow
Bmaj7               Bmaj7        F#    F#maj7
Still when we flew, we never knew
Bmaj7            Bmaj7
There in the air I felt her feathers
F#                F#
First all at once then all together
Bmaj7               Bmaj7             F#    F#maj7
When I went through that's when I knew


Chorus
      Bmaj7                    Bmaj7
I'm a killer and a killer is a bad, bad thing to be
        F#                       F#
She's a giver and a giver's even worse to folks like me
      Bmaj7                     Bmaj7
Cuz I never really wanna be the one to hurt somebody
       F#                            F#
But it just keeps happening, yeah it just keeps happening


Post-Chorus
| Bmaj7  | Bmaj7  | F#     | F#     |


Verse 2
Bmaj7         Bmaj7
I was a bird, he was an arrow
F#                    F#
I was allured by the straight and the narrow
Bmaj7            Bmaj7           F#    F#maj7
What could I do? His aim was true
 Bmaj7                Bmaj7
Straight to the heart I let it happen
F#                     F#
I couldn't hardly have ever imagined that
Bmaj7                        Bmaj7
When he went through me he'd hate what he's doing
    F#                      F#maj7
And make me feel stupid for choosing him to


Chorus
          Bmaj7                  Bmaj7
Cuz I'm a giver and a giver is a bad, bad thing to be
       F#                        F#
He's a killer and a killers even worse for folks like me
      Bmaj7                       Bmaj7
Cuz I never really wanna feel the hurt from anybody
       F#                            F#
But it just keeps happening, yeah it just keeps happening


Post-Chorus
| Bmaj7  | Bmaj7  | F#     | F#     |
                     Yeah it just keeps happening
| Bmaj7  | Bmaj7  | F#     | F#     |


Bridge
G#madd9
Falling, never to fly again
C#
Darling, together when everything's
F#maj7                               B(b5)   B
Fading the shade of the trees in the dark
G#madd9
I'm in love with the idea of
C#
Dying with you in my arms but not
F#maj7                                 B
Like this, we can't really help who we are


Outro
                            G#madd9
We can't really help who we are
                            C#
We can't really help who we are
                            F#maj7
Damned to the end from the start
                            Bmaj7
We can't really help who we are
                            G#madd9
We can't really help who we are
                            C#
We can't really help who we are
                            F#maj7
Damned to the end from the start
                            Bmaj7
We can't really help who we are
                            G#madd9
We can't really help who we are
                            C#
We can't really help who we are
                            F#maj7
Damned to the end from the start
                            Bmaj7
We can't really help who we are
                            Bmaj7    F#maj7
We can't really help who we are
