Verse 1:
G+G                            E minorEm
 Pushing through the market square,            so many mothers sighing
A7sus4A7sus4       A7A7                 C9C9
 News had just come over,            we had five years left to cry in
G+G                        G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm
 News guy wept when he told us,             earth was really dying
A7sus4A7sus4           A7A7             C9C9
 Cried so much his face was wet,         then I knew he was not lying

Pre-Chorus 1:
     G+G            GM7
 I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
  D/F#D/F# E minorEm
 I saw boys, toys, electric irons and T.V.'s
  A7sus4A7sus4               A7A7
 My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
     C9C9
 I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
       A minorAm            C/BC/B C/GC/G
 And all the fat-skinny people,
         C/BC/B  A minorAm         C/GC/G
 and all the tall-short people,
          G+G           C/GC/G
 and all the nobody people,
           D7D7
 and all the somebody people
                  A minorAm    C/GC/G
 I never thought I'd need  so many people

Verse 2:
G+G                        G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm
 A augmentedA girl my age went off her head,            and hit some tiny children
A7sus4A7sus4              A7A7          C9C9
 If the black hadn't a-pulled her off,        I think she would have killed them
G+G         GM7            G+G   D/F#D/F# E minorEm
 A augmentedA soldier with a broken arm        fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A7sus4A7sus4           A7A7               C9C9
 A augmentedA cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest,  and then a queer threw up at the sight of that
G+G            GM7          G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm
 I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor,       drinking milk shakes cold and long
A7sus4A7sus4         A7A7               C9C9
 Smiling and waving and looking so fine,       I don't think you knew you were in this song

Pre-Chorus 2:
      G+G                     D/F#D/F#
 And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
    E minorEm
 And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
   A7sus4A7sus4        A7A7
 Your face, your race, the way that you talk
  C9C9
 I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk

Chorus:
      G+G              D/F#D/F#
 We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
 E minorEm
 Five years, what a surprise
      A7sus4A7sus4     A7A7
 We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
 C9C9
 Five years, that's all we've got
      G+G              D/F#D/F#
 We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
 E minorEm
 Five years, what a surprise
      A7sus4A7sus4     A7A7
 We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
 C9C9
 Five years, that's all we've got

Outro:
      G+G            G+G D/F#D/F#
 We've got five years
 E minorEm
 Five years
 A7sus4A7sus4      A7A7
 Five years
 C9C9                G+G
 Five years, that's all we've got
