Chord/Tab song: The Killing Type

This song is brand-new, and it's freaking catchy.
Also, I love Amanda F-ing Palmer, so I figured I'd put up the chords for this song:

I wouldn't kill to win a [C]war[Em]
I don't get what they do it [C]for[Em]
It's all so terribly v[C]ague[Em]
I see the pictures from a [D]thousand years of battle
And I think it's such a [C]bore[Em]
I walk New Orleans with a [C]knife[Em]
Like Mackie hidden out of [C]sight[Em]
But I'd be useless if they[C] jumped[Em]
I'm really not the killing [D]type

[Am]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 [C]mum[Em]
Before the war when she was [C]young[Em]
She's got an etching to her [C]right[Em]
I think it's funny that she's [D]looking to the left and it's her son
I wouldn't kill to get you [C]back[Em]
And I've officially been [C]asked[Em]
I couldn't kill to save a [C]life[Em]
I'd rather die a peaceful [D]piece of shit-bait, shame-filled coward, thanks

[Am]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 [C]feel[Em]
I don't mean kill someone for [C]real[Em]
I couldn't do that, it is [C]wrong[Em]
But I can say it in a [Am]song, a song, a song

And I'm saying it [C]NOW
I'm saying it [Em7]SO
Even if you never [D]hear this song, somebody else would [Am]know
I'm saying it [C]NOW
I'm saying it [Em7]SO
Even if you never [D]hear this song, somebody else will [Am]know, know, know, know

[C]I just can't explain how good it feels
[D]I just can't explain how good it feels
[C]I just can't explain how good it feels
[D]I just can't describe

I once stepped on a dying [C]bird[Em]
It was a mercy killing, [C]I couldn't sleep for a week
[Em]I kept feeling its breaking bones
I [C]heard
[Em] That if you see a star at [C]night
[Em] And the conditions are just [C]right
[Em] And you are standing on a [C]cliff
[Em] Then you can close your eyes and [D]make a wish, and take a step, and change somebody's life

[Am]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[C] feel[Em]
I'd kill to move your face an [C]inch[Em]
I see you staring into [C]space
I wanna stick my fist in[D]to your mouth and twist your arctic heart

Yes, I would kill to make you[C] feel[Em]
I don't mean kill someone for [C]real[Em]
I couldn't do that, it is [C]wrong[Em]
But I can say it in a [Am]song, a song, a song

And I'm saying it [C]NOW
I'm saying it [Em7]SO
Even if you never [D]hear this song, somebody else would [Am]know
I'm saying it [C]NOW
I'm saying it [Em7]SO
Even if you never [D]hear this song, somebody else would [Am]know, know, know, know

[C]I just can't explain how good it feels
[D]I just can't explain how good it feels
[C]I just can't explain how good it feels
[D]I just can't describe, -ibe, -ibe

[Em]DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE
[Am]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.
