Big Bird

    C                            
I'm afraid of the social laziness 
          Am
that let Kitty Genovese die.
        Dm                 G      
And I'm afraid of the mob 
              C
mentality that makes otherwise 
normal people go blind.
    C                              
I'm afraid of the way that the 
                 Am
world works and I'm afraid of the 
words in my notebooks.
    Dm                     G      
I'm afraid that you all know that 
        C
I am a pervert.

[Chorus I]
                F              
But the big red bird that lives 
           G
under the city
        Am          C             
doesn't give a damn about me and 
             F
it dies every night.
           Fm
By burning alive.

[Verse II]

    C
I'm afraid of my grandfathers 
cancer.
        Am
And I'm afraid of my mom's dying 
arm.
    Dm                        G   
I'm afraid that I've somehow 
             C
caused my family harm.

    C                          
I'm afraid that the ones I love 
             Am
won't have enough.
    Dm                      G 
I'm afraid that the ones I love 
               C
won't have enough.


[Bridge/Chorus II]

     F            G                
It's harder to be yourself than it 
Am
is to be anybody else.
F               G                
I wish I were a little less of a 
Am (Asus2)
coward
        (Am)     F            
but the big red bird that lives 
             G
under the city
        Am            C           
doesn't give a damn about me and 
             F
it dies every night.
              Fm
So I bought a knife.
       C         Am       F      C
I am a knife.
