Big Bird

[Intro]

I'm afraid of the way I live my life
I'm afraid of the way I don't
I'm afraid of the things I want to 
do but I won't
I'm afraid of God
I'm afraid to believe and I'm afraid
 of all the loved ones that I've 
made leave
I'm afraid that my dog doesn't love 
me anymore

    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

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

I'm afraid that I've somehow 
             C
caused my family harm

    C

I wish I were a little less of a

But the big red bird that lives 
             G
under the city
        Am            C           
Doesn't give a damn about me and
