Big Bird (acoustic)

C I'm afraid of the way I live my life. Am I'm afraid of the way I don't. F G C I'm afraid of the things I want to do but I won't. C I'm afraid of God. A I'm afraid to believe and I'm afraid of all the loved ones that I've made leave. F G C I'm afraid that my dog doesn't love me anymore. C Am I'm afraid of the social laziness that let Kitty Genovese die. F G C And I'm afraid of the mob mentality that makes otherwise normal people go blind. C Am I'm afraid of the way that the world works and I'm afraid of the words in my notebooks. F G C I'm afraid that you all know that I am a pervert. F G But the big red bird that lives under the city Am C F doesn't give a damn about me and it dies every night. Dm By burning alive. C I'm afraid of my grandfathers cancer. Am And I'm afraid of my mom's dying arm. F G C I'm afraid that I've somehow caused my family harm. C Am I'm afraid that the ones I love won't have enough. F G Am I'm afraid that the ones I love won't have enough. F G Am It's harder to be yourself than it is to be anybody else. F G Am F I wish I were a little less of a coward but the big red bird that lives under G the city Am F doesn't give a damn about me and it dies every night. Dm So I bought a knife. C I Am A knife. Am F G C
